Mystery of oneness in Christian marriage Food for thought “Marriage is the primary relationship; its success is rewarded with godly and well behaved children. The coming of children is secondary as reward from God to the couple for loving each other. Children are heritage from God and from God alone. For purpose of multiplication, parents must prepare them for their own homes. Prolonging their stay is disobedience to God’s words.” Man can work hard to earn riches and fame but a good wife is given by God. Couples should pray for their Spouses to be of the Lord. Proverbs 19:14 reads: Houses and riches are the inheritance of fathers: and a prudent wife is from the Lord. God removed only a rib and not many from Adam to create Eve; man is only entitled to one wife. God had the power to create male and female of humans as he did with other animals, creating Eve from Adam originates the mystery of oneness of Christian marriage. There is no place for a second or more wife/wives in Christian marriage. Excerpt from Udoh, M. T. Parents' Companion Vol. 4
