Genesis 2:15-25

I need to leave behind:

A. My Parents (verse 24)
B. My Past Relationships
- The disease of comparison sets in.
- Selective forgetting sets in
Stop comparing and start cultivating!
C. My Problems
- Excess baggage
- Guilt, grudges, grief

I need to commit to:

A. A life long covenant (verse 24)
- Be united, Cleave = glue together
B. A pursuit of intimacy continually
- Hebrew man is 'Ish', woman is 'Issha' or female man
Genesis 5:1-2 Mr. and Mrs. Adam
C. A spiritual life cultivated
- The more I love God, the more I love my spouse.

Why after 10,000 years is this male/female relationship being heavily attacked?

1. Satan knows that strong families are the foundation of strong communities and strong nations.
2. Satan knows that time is short.
