day no. 15,733: a man and woman happily married

"There is no better statement of God's creational purpose for the world than a man and a woman living together in harmony; and there is no better statement of God's restorative purpose for the world in the Gospel than a man and a woman living together in harmony " -- Douglas Wilson, A Crisis in Masculinity

Genesis 2:25
Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.

Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.

The picture God provides of the purpose of mankind is a man and woman happily married. The picture God provides of the restoration of mankind is a man and woman happily married.

From the beginning, before sin, the best picture of what we were made for, is that of a marriage; and in the end, when all sin is eradicated, the best picture of what we will be like, is that of a marriage.

Revelation 19:6-9
Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out,

“Hallelujah!
For the Lord our God
    the Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice and exult
    and give him the glory,
for the marriage of the Lamb has come,
    and his Bride has made herself ready;
it was granted her to clothe herself
    with fine linen, bright and pure”—
for the fine linen is the righteous deeds of the saints.

And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.” And he said to me, “These are the true words of God.”
