God ordained Biblical marriages on HIS terms and conditions to replenish earth. God is at the heart of Christian marriage for devotion and trust in Christ. God created marriage relationship companionship, intimacy affirmed by God. Finding a spouse to fulfill a lifelong commitment of the Bible is a specific command. To help build stronger foundation its important both are born again Christians. Making the right decision to please God isn’t a romantic involvement first, before seeking the LORD’S face. Gospel says single be faithful Christians obeying commandments. Marriage needs the Holy Spirit’s guidance to discern the Spirit of God. The Bible says it is sin if a believer marries non-believer hoping to save him. Salvation is a free gift of God in Christ to all nations. If a believer witnessed to a person and later marry its approved by God. Marriage is in God’s image and likeness to produce Godly fruit for dominion in Bible in Genesis 1:26-28. God partners with all HIS creation who acknowledge God’s rule on the earth. God wants an exclusive total devotion and worship from believers not sharing HIM with idol pagan gods. Married couples please the LORD God Almighty not men. The choice of Christian marriage is for their partnership with God in Genesis 2:15-17 Adam was priest prophet/king in Garden Eden God’s Kingdom ruled over God’s riches, resources provided. Eve to bring GLORY to God helps replenished earth. God said it is not good for the man to be alone gave him helpmeet woman Eve in marriage. Christian marriages in Gospel is Christ centred He is head, Bridegroom to His Bride the Church of God in Christ. 
The head of Christ is God and head of a wife is her spouse. Almighty God is the source of Biblical marriages in Genesis 3:16. Spouses submits to God’s perfect will in Christ in the home at the centre is God’s laws and values. Married believers in the LORD God Almighty direct their lives through prayers, fasting, to seek God’s face, help. In Genesis 24 Abraham chose for Isaac Rebekah a believer in God in Genesis 27:46-28:9. Faith central in training children right and early according to God’s laws. In Genesis 34:8-9, Hamor invited sons of Jacob to intermarry with the daughters of Shechem after mistreating Dinah defiled. So they compromised God’s laws, endangering lives as second generation. In conquests of Canaan the LORD prohibited intermarriages: Don’t intermarry give your daughters to their sons, their daughters to your sons they will turn your children from following God to serve other gods. The LORD’S anger burns and destroys in Deuteronomy 7:3-4; Joshua 23:12. Kings like Solomon in 1 Kings 11, Ahab in 1 Kings 16-19 fell so compromised nation’s faith due to pagan wives. God told all priests, people to repent of intermarriages in Ezra 9-10. Foreign converts stay married: Zipporah, Rahab, Ruth. Jesus said unbeliever spouse is under God’s grace if converted is saved by a good conduct, example of respect, honour. In Proverbs 31:30 the virtuous woman supports husband is industrious, takes care of family.
Ruth married Boaz a believer who provided and protected her. She trusted God respected mother in law a Godly woman. Ruth married after husband died, free to marry Boaz, man who believed in the LORD. In 1 Corinthians 7:39, God said don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers. Righteousness and wickedness or light fellowship not mix with darkness in 2 Corinthians 6:14. A true Church keeps from fellowship with pagans Gospel warns against unbeliever spouse in 2 Corinthians 6:14. In 1 Corinthians 9:5 spouse of apostles and Jesus’ brothers or Cephas if unbelieving wife won’t qualify to be in ministry or elders in Church. Prohibiting intermarriages with unbelievers is saved by the love of Christ for His Church. People living in peace respect the differences so honour God Almighty Yahweh. Ephesians 5:21-33; Revelation 21:9-27 of God the Father, and Son in 1 Corinthians 11:3 is on the Godly submission and obedience. Marriage to non-believer of different faiths can’t force spouse to impose religion on them. Not to control a spouse to live in harmony or result in onflict. A different mindset and interest resolved by mutual respect glorifies God. Marriage is not designed for Christians only but the purpose for believers is to live in Christ. Jesus in John 17 gives eternal life to know only true God in Christ. Believers living for God love, honour, worship God in His Son Jesus Christ name. In living with spouse Church support followers of Christ to grow in eternal life. The LORD is owner of all lives and nations demands an exclusive attention and focus. Godly spouses don’t share wives, God Almighty Yahweh will not share His GLORY with idol pagan gods. It is only name of Christ Jesus of Nazareth that saves mankind in heaven after sins forgiven.

Spiritually dead yet living God our Father imparts life in Christ into. Lazarus and the saints raised during Christ’s resurrection, brought alive were physically dead. People raised in glorious inheritance of eternal life with Yahweh. God’s great power in Christ raises believers in eternity as God’s power raised Yeshua from death. Seated at God’s right hand in heavenly places has authority and power in Ephesians 1:19-23 above all. God’s power and authority in risen Christ in Ephesians 2:1-3 redeems all the powerless, hopeless people living in lifeless condition enslaving and dominating them. So God’s great power in Christ makes us partakers in His resurrection. God gives life in Christ, flowing from God’s love to work in us. The dead in trespasses of sin in Ephesians 2:1 are made alive in Christ in Ephesians 2:5. It is sin that blinds, distracts, wastes time for believers away from God. So sin DNA from Adam and Eve all inherited makes people Spiritually dead yet physically alive. They move about but are spiritually dead. Jesus said the physically dead to be buried by the spiritually dead people. A deceased lifeless can’t help themself is absolutely powerless beyond hope of activities to function. God’s Supernatural power enters and overpowers spirit of death casts out by Sovereign God. The dead state of inability God Spiritually turns around for believers saved by Gospel message. God gives free choice to believe to become Spiritually alive or to stay dead and separated from God. Response to faith to repent after hearing the Gospel expels a spirit of physical death. Ability to respond to the Gospel truth in Spirit is for an eternal life. Physical death exit to be alive in Christ as a Spirit soul. The word of God is sharper than two-edged sword, cuts through bones and marrow, discerns thoughts to realise a dead fallen state of mankind. Light drives out darkness Spiritual life overtakes death.
Spiritual awakening in response to things of God is Spirit imparting new life in a dead sinner resurrected. Jesus stood by grave in John 11:43 called Lazarus to come out by God’s Spirit. It activated life he came back from death because Jesus imparted life in him. The miracle picture of eternal life is in glorious new bodies. The Father raises the dead gives new life so the Son gives life in John 5:21. If you hear God’s words and you believe you have eternal life, not judged will pass from death into eternal life. The dead who hear the voice of the Son of God lives in John 5:24-25. Spiritual resurrection is an answer to spiritual death to save from sins. Without a new Spiritual life in Christ Jesus all are spiritually dead. The Gospel gives all life more abundantly into eternity. Mortally dead Scripture teaches are dead in sin and the Father draws all raised up on last day in John 6:44. God grants people salvation in John 6:65 doesn’t want you to perish so God’s powerful intervention is to spiritually dead by imparting a new life. In John 8:43 Jesus said, do understand and hear God’s words for a spiritually deaf can’t hear God’s words to respond on their own. And Jesus intercedes for all spiritually dead to return to the Holy God Almighty to stop sins. True Gospel of God raises spiritually dead back into life God’s Spiritual Kingdom on earth and into eternal life in heaven. Ezekiel 37:1-3 says dead dry bones of Israel’s sin raised as a great army of God. The LORD’S God’s Spirit in the valley of dead dry bones raised alive. Spiritually raised lives supernaturally in a resurrection of eternal life with Jesus. Jesus Christ of Nazareth said if anyone is in Christ though they die will live again. The house of Israel said, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope perished cut off but the Lord GOD will open graves to come out alive to bring you into land of Israel in Ezekiel 37:10-12. God talks to a physical Israel of Yahweh out of land of hope God dwells. Yahweh opens all graves for grafted in Christ spiritually dead to be Spiritual resurrected. Unsaved dead people, helpless, Yahweh gives eternal life in Christ to come alive to be restored to life and saved eternally. And believers in Christ once dead in sin are saved by God’s Grace and mercy. Overcome death to sin by God’s power of resurrection in Christ Jesus freely given to you today.
Yahweh’s gift for couples is enjoy covenant love HE created Adam and Eve to experience sexual intimacy. Genesis 2:24-25 says “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother to join his own wife to become one flesh. The man and wife are naked but not ashamed and God said it is not good to be alone. God says sex to take place in the context of marriage it is God’s gift to married people for mutual enjoyment. In Proverbs 5:18-19 manhood is a couple’s blessing do not deprive each other. In 1 Corinthians 7:5 mutual consent fast or pray returns to sexual pleasure so satan will not tempt couple. God says the married couple must have regular sexual relation because depriving takes away the natural right from God. Depriving unbiblical women of lack knowledge. God says honour marriage bed. Marriage not consummated is legally dissolved if not fulfilling conjugal rights. Couples wired differently need more or less sex honestly discuss sexual needs. God in Genesis 38:9 punished Onan who knew his offspring will belong to dead brother during intercourse with widow spilled semen on ground. God was offended killed him for the seed is life. In Leviticus 18:19 people told avoid sexual relations with a woman during her periods. Leviticus 20:18 forbids a coitus during her menstruation punished. Sexual relation is resumed after woman immersed in mikveh ritual bath renews their intimacy passions. 
Trained counsellor guides couples to adapt to each other’s sexual needs. A sex rhythm method follows the monthly cycle of a wife for ovulation day. Couples study best safe days for sexual intercourse for pregnancy. There is nothing ‘dirty’ or ‘shameful’ about sex between the married couple. Educate children about God’s words on sex for a born again believer. Bible says teach the healthy approach to sex and self-control to enjoy intimacy. In Hebrews 13:4 a marriage bed is honoured so undefiled. God judges sexually immoral and adulterous. Couples be faithful to God and each other to procreate and replenish earth is possible. God created “man in HIS own image” fe/male human sexuality God forbids prostitution, adultery, premarital sex, homosexuality, swapping spouse. God loves people so HE decides mankind’s final destiny into heaven or hellfire. HIS words in Revelation 22:15 says outside heaven dogs (all who have sex with anyone, anywhere, without commitment like dogs), sorcerers sexually immoral, murderers, idolaters and liars. Before you cast first stone at anyone check your own heart. Beware of dogs, evil workers in Philippians 3:2 so pray for God’s mercy and grace to be among HIS chosen one during Rapture into eternal life in the Name of Christ Jesus of Nazareth.
