Chapter 15 – Marriage Explained in One Verse<\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.  Genesis 24:67<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Isaac supplied the tent.  A man\u2019s proposal to a woman that doesn\u2019t include food, clothing, and shelter isn\u2019t biblical.  If a man can\u2019t pay for her, all he can do is play with her.  That never ends well for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        She became his wife because they had made public marriage vows before he took her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7        Isaac loved Rebekah and then<\/em> he was comforted.  God gave every wife the ability to comfort her husband, but comforting a man is emotionally exhausting.  Being convinced<\/em> that he loves her renews her emotional energy so she can keep comforting him, but this requires a lot of daily detailed praise and appreciation as taught in the Song of Solomon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

80-90% of how a marriage works out depends on how a man treats his wife after they marry, but 80% of that depends on how high she and he set her value by protecting her virtue before <\/em>they marry (Pr. 31:10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISAAC SUPPLIED THE TENT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most women delight in a man\u2019s attention.  A woman can easily become emotionally involved with a man who claims to love her.  Playing boy-girl games when you aren’t ready for marriage is like playing with matches and gasoline when you don\u2019t want to start a fire.  People aren\u2019t toys, and playing with each other before you’re mature enough to think of a permanent marriage partner can lead to serious emotional damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are only three ways it can turn out, all of them are bad:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1)   You can break up.  This hurts, but shows you can survive breaking up.  This prepares you for divorce later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2)   You can marry before you’re mature enough or have enough income.  Mature adults have troubles with the duties and responsibilities of marriage, and marriage is far harder on younger people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3)   You can get involved physically without commitment to each other, which adds to the emotional damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The teen years and early twenties are a time for striving to learn what you must know to join the ranks of productive, responsible adults; it’s not a time to wish you were already grown up.  Isaac was 40 years old (Gen. 5:20) and had enough money to support Rebecca when he married her.  This is a husband\u2019s duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus spoke of His servants being obliged to do their duty to Him:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.  Luke 17:10<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

When God gives a woman to a man to be his wife, God expects him to nourish and cherish her (Eph 5:29).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HE TOOK REBEKAH<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Genesis 29:21<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man will marry if he wants a woman badly enough and marriage is the only way he can have her.  Marriage is wonderful enough to be worth the burden and responsibilities of marriage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let thy fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of thy youth.  Let her be as the loving hind and pleasant roe: let her breasts satisfy thee at all times, and be thou ravished always with her love.  Proverbs<\/strong> 5:18<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

There be three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not: 19<\/sup>The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a maid.  Proverbs 30:18-19<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.  Psalm 19:5<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.  Song<\/strong> of Solomon 7:10<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

But if they cannot contain, let them marry:  I Corinthians 7:9a<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Some wedding vows say \u201cto have and to hold.\u201d  The man marries to have her; she marries so he\u2019ll hold her.  Naomi gave Ruth the best advice on getting<\/em> marriage you\u2019ll ever hear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then said she, Sit still, my daughter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, until thou know how the matter will fall: for the man will not be in rest, until he have finished the thing this day.  Ruth 3:18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boaz wasn\u2019t thinking of marriage, but when Ruth brought it up, it was such a good<\/em> idea he ran out the very next morning and married her.  Why?  Because he wanted her.  What if a woman gives him rest outside marriage?  Her value falls (Pr. 31:10).  What would marriage give him that he doesn\u2019t have?  If she gives herself to him without marriage, how can he trust her not to give herself to someone else?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHE BECAME HIS WIFE<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication<\/p>\n\n\n\n

: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.  I Thessalonians 4:3-8<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some say that this refers to a man possessing his own body, but \u201cvessel\u201d in \u201cas unto the weaker vessel (1 Pe. 3:7)\u201d describes something that receives.  In marriage, the man\u2019s body gives and the woman\u2019s body receives.  Jesus said that a man and wife were \u201cno more twain, but one flesh.\u201d  It doesn\u2019t matter which body the passage refers to; there\u2019s only one body in a Christian marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man sanctifies a woman, that is, sets her apart from all other women, by entering into Holy Matrimony with her before taking her.  How often do we hear of a man persuading a woman to fulfill his lusts by claiming to love her?  Without the sanctification of marriage, taking a woman is sinful lust which God calls \u201cfraud.\u201d  God avenges this by denying the man most of the joy which God intended for marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know from news about dates gone wrong that being defrauded by being taken outside marriage can harm a woman badly and make her bitter.  God gives a man the desire of his heart when he takes a woman through lying to her, but defrauding her and taking advantage of her brings leanness into his soul (Psalm 106:15).  Fraud followed by bitterness isn\u2019t a good foundation for marriage.  The situation can\u2019t improve unless the man takes responsibility for defrauding her and confesses his sin to her and to their parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bible uses \u201ctook to wife (Gen. 26:34, 1 Ki. 16:31, 1 Chr. 7:15)\u201d to indicate that the man married the woman before taking her.  The Bible warns four times<\/em> that opening herself to a man humbles a woman (Deu. 21:14, 22:29, Eze. 22:10-11).  The chemicals a man injects into her body make her brain produce hormones that affect her thinking.  She becomes much more relaxed.  She\u2019ll lose her sense of independence and feel a desire to cling to him and to belong to him.  This makes her feel vulnerable and dependent.  This can be very frightening even if he\u2019s made her feel secure, appreciated, and valued by marrying her before taking her and by opening his heart to her enough that she\u2019s confident that he belongs to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a man takes a woman outside marriage, she knows he failed to protect her from his passions as Adam failed to protect Eve from the serpent.  It is very difficult for a woman to follow a man whom she can\u2019t trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISAAC LOVED REBEKAH<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Older women are told to teach younger women how to love their husbands (Titus 2:4) because men are very much alike \u2013 what comforts one man will make pretty much any man feel loved, and it\u2019s simple enough that the Bible explains it in one verse.  There is no simple formula for making a wife feel loved because women are so different from each other, but the Bible describes the result.  As Naomi told her daughters goodbye when sending them back to their families to find husbands, she prayed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The LORD grant you that ye may find rest, each of you in the house of her husband.  Ruth 1:9<\/strong>a<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Women aren\u2019t strong enough to hunt or farm without modern machinery.  In a muscle-powered society with no \u201csafety net,\u201d wives depend on husbands for food.  Naomi wanted her daughters to have food, clothing, and shelter, but she also wanted them to find comfort, rest, contentment, and security in knowing<\/em> that they were valued and appreciated by their husbands as taught in the Song of Solomon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watching a couple shows whether she\u2019s resting in her husband.  Many women experience this instead:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he<\/p>\n\n\n\n

: Eat and drink<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Proverbs 23:7<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man can claim he loves a woman and provide for her without giving his heart to her.  Naomi wanted each daughter to find an appreciative husband who poured his heart into nourishing and cherishing her.  God isn\u2019t the only one who appreciates a cheerful giver (2 Cor. 9:7).  What was Delilah\u2019s complaint against Samson?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

?  Judges 16:15a<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The woman in the Song is confident that her husband has opened his heart enough to belong to her:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My beloved is mine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.  Song 2:16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine<\/p>\n\n\n\n

: he feedeth among the lilies.  Song 6:3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delilah was upset that Samson wouldn\u2019t open his heart to her and wouldn\u2019t belong to her.  He said<\/em> he loved her, she gave herself to him, but she could see that he wasn\u2019t hers.  What good was he to her (Song 2:16)?  Why not get some cash by selling him to the Philistines?  She knew that what\u2019s in a man\u2019s heart defines him.  It\u2019s the sports hero and the cheerleader, a story that happens over and over again in colleges and high schools.  What she did wasn\u2019t nice, but who betrayed whom first?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women share their hearts routinely in helping other women bear the burdens of husbands, children, and guiding houses (1 Tim. 5:14).  They have a hard time understanding that it\u2019s as frightening for a man to open his heart as for a woman to open her body.  A man\u2019s emotions are as powerful as a woman\u2019s.  Japanese say \u201cOne hair of a woman’s head pulls more strongly than ten yoke of oxen\u201d and Chinese say that a man in love rides a wild horse.  Many men are afraid to open their hearts for fear of being hurt or vexed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it came to pass, when she pressed him daily with her words, and urged him, so that his soul was vexed unto death<\/p>\n\n\n\n

;  Judges 16:16<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotions scare a man.  Although he may declare his love to her, he may not admit his love to himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having created Peter, Jesus knew how Peter felt.  Peter saw Jesus grieve over the cities of Israel<\/a> page 106.  Peter didn\u2019t want the sorrow of seeing people he loved fall away so he hid his emotions from himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

John 21:15-19 tells how Jesus asked three times whether Peter loved Jesus.  Peter finally admitted to brotherly love.  Did Jesus’ questions make Peter love Him?  No, Peter already loved Jesus – he wept bitterly when he betrayed Jesus (Mt. 26:75) – but he didn’t want to feel<\/em> his love, knowing how love can lead to sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a man won\u2019t admit to himself that he loves his wife enough to be hurt by her, he can\u2019t convince her he loves her and she won\u2019t be able to comfort him as he expects.  Opening herself to him makes her more sensitive to his feelings about her.  If he values her skills, feelings, thoughts, and everything else about her, feeling loved more strongly makes her happy.  She won\u2019t mind being humbled and will be glad to see his delight in her.  If she doesn\u2019t think he\u2019s pleased with her, she won\u2019t want to be more sensitive to his feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

. I John 3:18<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A woman has a thousand thousand ways to deflect her husband\u2019s desire, but the fault is generally his.  She can\u2019t make him any happier than he makes her.  The secret of a man finding happiness in marriage is to convince his wife that he\u2019s truly happy with her.  That will make her happy with him which makes him happy.  The Song of Songs starts<\/em> with the wife praising her husband for getting physical with her:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.  Song of Solomon 1:2<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.  Song 7:10<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

She likes getting physical because he appreciates her.  Husbands and wives want to please each other:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I would have you without carefulness.  He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  There is difference also between a wife and a virgin.  The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  I Corinthians 7:32-34 *<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man. 9<\/sup>Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.  I Corinthians 11:8-9<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Women are made for men (Gen. 2:18), so a wife generally cares more about pleasing her husband than he cares about pleasing her.  The Book of Proverbs warns 5 times (Pr. 19:13, 21:9, 19, 25:24, 27:15) that an unhappy wife is a hardship; many say, \u201cIf mamma ain\u2019t happy, ain\u2019t nobody happy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.  Proverbs 17:22<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men, don\u2019t<\/em> dry your wife\u2019s bones.  Can you give her the benefit of the doubt and assume she wants to please you?  She can\u2019t please you if she doesn\u2019t know what you want.  The only way she can be confident of pleasing you is for you to open your heart enough for her to learn your ways in detail<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When a woman finds she can\u2019t please her husband no matter how she tries, we often see death in her eyes, even in photos.  Men, if you want to be happy in marriage, be happy with your wife<\/em>.  That makes her happy.  There is no joy this side of Heaven that compares with having your wife be glad to belong to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AND THEN HE WAS COMFORTED<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.  Song<\/strong> of Solomon 7:10<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

His physical desire seems strange to her, so the wife asks her mother for advice about her husband:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother’s house, who would instruct me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate. 3<\/sup>His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.  Song 8:2-3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her mother tells her to welcome her husband into her body whenever he wants her.  Giving herself when she\u2019d rather do something else is the definition of submission.  She has far more sexual capacity than he; she can drain off all of his sexual energy.  That makes it hard for other women to get his attention.  If she sends him off to work loaded, on the other hand, he’ll be tempted by other women (Pr. 6:28).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A man can’t praise his wife in such detail without paying close attention to her.  Marriages are based on communication; a woman communicates heart-to-heart, a man communicates belly-to-belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How many marriages would fail if husband and wife never, not ever, criticized each other and appreciated each other constantly instead?  That is the essence of the Song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29<\/sup>Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.  Matthew 11:28-30<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

A married woman takes on the yoke of pleasing her husband.  He\u2019s commanded to dwell with her according to knowledge of her (1 Pe. 3:7).  The only way to get this knowledge is by hours and hours of daily open-hearted conversation.  This will open his heart to her enough to make his yoke easy and his burden light and convince her that he belongs to her as taught in the Song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courtship shows whether he trusts her (Pro. 31:11) enough to truly<\/em> open his heart and he finds out whether she respects him and honors him (Eph. 5:33, 1 Pe. 3:6) in spite of his mistakes.  Marriage prospers when a man treats<\/em> his wife as his precious gift from God and she acts<\/em> like his precious gift from God.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chapter 16 – A Young Man is Pursuing Your Daughter.  What do you Tell Him?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Jesus told us that men marry; women are given in marriage (Luk. 20:34[283]<\/a>).  A wife is a gift from God to her groom (Luk. 17:27[284]<\/a>).  You should do your best to be sure the would-be groom is prepared to gently and wisely lead your daughter so that he will receive the full blessing God intends in giving him a wife.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
