The climax of the creation account told in Genesis 1 is the creation of Adam and Eve.  God is the creator and we bear His image the intrinsic dignity and value is because of the image they reflect which is God.

If we don’t see each other as image bearers of God to me it makes it very difficult to value life in the same manner that God does.  I really dislike when my wife and I have any type of disagreement. I always feel as if my insides are tearing and it becomes almost unbearable. I come to realize that at the point of impaired hearing I need to tactfully retreat and go into my quiet place and gain insight from my Heavenly Father especially when the disagreement involves a personal critique about you.

Wrong attitude! I come to learn that it’s not about you it is about the collective body of one. A key part of God’s image for married couples is the becoming of one. So getting to myself and the one who knows all about me (God) provides a platform to hear what truly has been said within the discourse of the disagreement.

I Peter 3:7 talks about your prayers not being hindered. The” let us” in Genesis 1:26 is reflective of how being united can and will accomplish great things in a marriage relationship when two touches and agree on everything.  Matthew 18:19, ” That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven”.  God through His son Jesus has given married couples an innate power of one that will allow them to overcome anything.
