“And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” (Genesis 2:21-22).
God had completed His work creating the heavenly bodies, land, waters, animals, and the first man. All of His work was perfect. The man whom God created realized, having completed the work of actively agreeing with the names God had in mind for each of the animals, that they all had other selves. Each had a companion. His God-given super intelligence noticed He should also have a companion, someone with whom He could enjoy all the blessings of God’s creation.
The Lord caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep; He then performed the first surgery, and formed from his rib, a woman. This woman would complete Adam. If God had created two men, they both would have been incomplete. If He had created two women, they would also have been incomplete. This is why He created Eve for Adam and Adam for Eve. These two together would complete the image of God in the earth. Adam would posses the sterner, stronger characteristics of God. Eve would possess the more tender, nurturing, compassionate attributes.
It is clear, even from a surface view of this event, that the Lord originated marriage. I hope that did not slip by you. The fact that God created Eve from Adam’s rib and then presented her to him to complete him is evidence of the first marriage. Marriage was and is God’s idea. Together the holy pair and all that would follow until the end of time, were to stand as a composite sketch, representing the character of God. The earth was to be populated through the gift of procreation that the Lord specifically gave to men and women joined in holy matrimony.
When considering marriage, examine the first marriage that took place in Eden for guidance. It is always safer to do so. We need not be confused about what God intended. As we stay close to the model of Edenic marriage, we remain close to the revealed will of God on this subject. Since marriage was God’s idea. Why not ask Him to teach us about it?—L.
