Thus, the crowning achievement of creation was the holy union of man and woman. After He had formed the woman, God authoritatively declared that His creation was very good. I believe that statement to be significant. If children were necessary to complete man and woman, God would have created them before making such a declaration. T herefore, the marriage relationship lacks nothing.
Woman alone completes man, and man alone completes woman .
Thus, the husband and wife form the nucleus of the family unit. Children do not complete the family, they expand it. Marriage And Children M odern society has failed to discover this important distinction. Presently the child-parent relationship has become the more significant one, to the detriment of children and marriage partners alike. Yet, God put husband and his wife in the garden, not a parent and child.
