“…and they shall become one flesh.” Genesis 2:24

Marriage did not begin with brokenness.
It began with Oneness.

Before there were marriage counselors, arguments, resentment, separation, or divorce, there was a husband, a wife, and a garden. The story of Adam and Eve reveals what God intended, what sin disrupted, and what couples have been trying to recover ever since.

The Truth

God designed marriage for unity, intimacy, companionship, and Oneness.

Unity Intimacy Companionship Oneness
The Ugly Truth

Sin introduced fear, blame, shame, self-protection, and division between husband and wife.
