Marriage is an essential part of His plan, and the relationship between husband and wife carries great spiritual and emotional significance. Your life here on earth has a purpose. You are a part of God's plan. Before any of us were born He knew us. God created this earth so that we could have an opportunity to have physical bodies and to learn and grow. When we get married, we are given the sacred opportunity to bring children into this world, and we take on the solemn responsibility to care for them. Because God loves His children, He wants each one of us to receive love, support, and care. This happens best through an honest and devoted marriage. The Bible teaches God's expectations regarding marriage and gives practical relationship advice. The first commandment God gave to Adam and Eve concerned their family relationship and their role as a couple (Genesis 1:28). Marriage is an eternal concept. It is meant to be a loving, intimate, selfless relationship between a man and a woman that lasts through eternity. The Savior taught, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Couples can learn a powerful lesson from this teaching. As a spouse, you are expected to essentially lay down your old life and to sacrifice many of your personal desires for your closest friend, your husband, or your wife. The more you are able to put your spouse first and keep your focus on the success of your partnership, the stronger your marriage will be. Most marriages are founded on love-but it's choosing to maintain and grow that love that can be the challenge. That's where commitment comes in. God considers marriage to be an agreement between a husband and a wife as well as a commitment between the couple and Him. He expects us to dedicate ourselves to the relationship, and to recognize our responsibilities, duties, and loyalties both to our spouse and to God. The scriptures can teach us how to do that. I believe this is why Christ instituted the church as a foundational outreach to help us all as one. However, I believe the church has failed in its attempt to be the example for all believers. It is imperative that we men take back our roles and become what Christ showed us to be. Husbands that are willing to lay down our lives for our wife. I hope to inspire you through the process of living on purpose as the husband Christ called you to be. I believe what's written is essential to life in order to live a happy and successful life of love and happiness. This book reaches back to move forward in living each day. I believe we have what it takes to sustain ourselves towards the intended goal of life. I have always believed "The Best Dreams Happen When You Are Awake" To be your best simply means "Do Your Best Don't Worry About The Rest" We all carry the baggage to the fulfillment of intimacy, interpersonal needs, faith, family. Handle them with care and they will last longer to sustain the intended goal of life. I have always believed "The Best Dreams Happen When You Are Awake" To be your best simply means "Do Your Best Don't Worry About The Rest" Ultimately Lev 26;6 plows up the ground for this platform of The Purpose Drive Man. Reward for Obedience"'Do not make idols or set up an image or a sacred stone for yourselves. "If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.6 "'I will grant peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid.
