We are composed of three parts—body, soul, and spirit. Our body is the “house” in which we live. Our soul is our self—composed of mind, emotions
, and will. Our spirit is our innermost being by which we can know God and receive His life.
God’s design for marriage is to bring a guy who loves the Lord with all his heart together with a girl who likewise loves the Lord with all her heart.
They develop a deep friendship based on their common love for the Lord Jesus. As they grow closer to God, they draw closer to each other.
In time the relationship develops into courtship as they seek God’s will concerning their possible marriage. In the courtship period, as they grow closer to God, they again grow closer to each other.
As they discern God’s will to get married, they become engaged. Finally, in marriage, they enjoy oneness of spirit, oneness of soul, and oneness of body. They become one in Christ.
The result is the deepest, happiest, most fulfilling relationship that can be known by two people in this life. God is smiling on their marriage and thinking, “That is what I had in mind!"
