Rebuilding a Commitment to
God's Design for Marriage

The second goal of a "Rebuilder" is to learn what marriage is in the mind of God.

And Jesus answered and said to them, "Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning 'made them male and female,'
Matthew 19:4

for when Gentiles, who do not have the Law, by nature do the things in the Law, these, although not having the Law, are a law to themselves, {15} who show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts accusing or else excusing them
Romans 2:14-15

Although I've never been married, I have been created in the Image of God, and His Law is written on my heart. There's something about marriage that every human being understands.

For your Maker is your husband,
The LORD of hosts is His name;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel;
He is called the God of the whole earth.
{6}
For the LORD has called you
Like a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit,
Like a youthful wife when you were refused,"
Says your God.

Isaiah 54:5-6

"For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." {32} This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Ephesians 5:31-32

Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.
Revelation 19:7

In a sense I don't expect to tell you anything you don't already know. All I'm trying to do is point out a blindspot. Or maybe remind you of some things you may have forgotten.
