I think everyone in this thread should do what you suggest. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The purpose of the first narrative (Gen 1:1–2:4a) is about establishing a relationship
between God and humans, and the second account (Gen 2:4b-25) is about building
a relationship in the most essential human bond, marriage. These two relationships,
vertical and horizontal, are complementary and must always come in the described
ordered sequence so that life can be meaningful, beautiful, and happy. First comes a
cultivation of a loving relationship with God, then with our marriage partner, and finally
with others. The closer we are to God, the closer we should be to our spouses and to
others. Only God can provide all the resources for life so we can be a contribution and
blessing to each other. We were created in total dependency upon God; therefore, only
from him can we receive all we need for building deep and lasting relationships.
