Are you interested to learn how to live "Happily Ever After" after saying "I Do"?
Here are 3 P's from the Garden of Eden that we can apply:
1. The PRESENCE of God.
In the beginning, we learn that God Himself created from the clouds in the sky to the reef in the sea. And when God created Adam, we see that we first existed with His design in mind and His breath of life in our lungs. Additionally, out of the whole earth God created, He purposely put man in the Garden, that shows us that we were first made to live set apart by constantly living in the paradise of His Presence.
"Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. Now the Lord God had planted a garden in the east, in Eden;and there he put the man he had formed." Genesis 2:7-8
2. The PROSPERITY of abundance.
In the Garden, God created gold and precious stones. In this we learn that God created mankind to enjoy opulence and abundance. There was nothing to buy or sell in the beginning, and yet God wanted us to enjoy the riches of His goodness. So strive together to enjoy nature, rest, and beautiful resources.
"And the gold of that land is good, and there is bdellium and the onyx stone." Genesis 2:12
3. The PLEASURES of marriage.
In the Garden, God didn't let Adam live alone, He gifted him with a naked wife. Sounds humorous, but they were instructed from the beginning to be fruitful and to multiply and dominate. If they didn't enjoy being together, then disobedience would have come from sexual avoidance. In Genesis, we learn they didn't sin & fall because the married couple were naked. As a matter of fact, their bare formation in the beginning was called a very good thing; therefore, understand pleasure with your spouse is not a sin, but know it's a good thing.
"And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed." Genesis 2:25
