God's the ultimate founder of marriage, not man nor the government.

He created and ministered the first marriage between Man and woman (Adam and Eve).

If you want to understand and enjoy marriage, you need to learn and understand these roles and needs.

Things a man needs in marriage

(1) The presence of God - Adam was always in the presence of God (Eden)

(2) Second is a job - He gave a man a job to look after Eden and everything within it. You need a job, a shelter to take care of things around you.

(3) A wife / woman is the third to be with him in the presence of God and not to take him out of it.

(4) Cultivate - To Cultivate and bring out the best in all that are around him, the wife, Eden and every other things there.

(5) Protection - Watch, guard and provide for everything within his jurisdiction.

(6) God's word (Instructions), God gave the man the ultimate instruction (Word), not the woman, so therefore hubands are expected to always be more sound than their wives, you must be the teacher of the word, the one who leads by the word, the word with truth on his lips.

Men are made, women are created. (Made was made from dust, women create from a made man).

Things a woman needs in marriage

(1) Everything a man is expected to possess and more of a listening ear, submissive heart and a mild and tender soul. A woman was made to help the man when he's out of ideas so a woman is expected to be up to date and ready to push her husband back up when he's falling.

A woman is a man with the womb. Womb is the only thing that separates a woman from a man. If you do not have a womb, you're a man.

Meaning of husband - House bond : The one who keeps the house together.

If a man or a woman does not possess these qualities, please they are not ready to be married. They are better off being alone because Adam had all these qualities before God said "it is not good for man to be alone". If you are not in God's presence, have a job, have ability to cultivate, can't protect those around you or lack the word of God, you're better off being alone.


The family is the most important and the oldest institution in the world, society remains a reflection of what happens within the families in that society.

Break down a family, break down a nation.

Age doesn't mean you are ripe for marriage, age simply means you are getting old if you lack information.

Love and sex do not sustain a marriage, information and preparation does.

You need 3 things for keep a marriage: (1) Knowledge information)
(2) Understanding (Comprehension)
(3) Wisdom (Application), all that was explained at the top of this post stays within these 3 bullet points.
