Marriage's Original Purpose and Its Challenges
Marriage was designed by God as a beautiful union meant to reflect love, respect, and mutual support. However, after the fall, this ideal became complicated due to human sinfulness and the presence of evil. The experience of marriage is altered, leading to challenges such as self-absorption and egoism, which marriage aims to help overcome.
