THAT MISSING PIECE

•    glaring omission when last piece can’t be found
•    Solomon’s idolatry brought catastrophe through missing faith-component
•    God the third leg on couple’s 3-legged milking stool

GOD MADE MARRIAGE

•    creation “very good” except for man’s missing mate
•    Adam captivated by God’s gift of woman
•    current imperfection clashes with marriage in Eden

GOD UNDERSTANDS MARRIAGE

•    Hosea prophesies Israel’s idolatry like an unfaithful spouse
•    Christ loving church example for husbands loving wives
•    Jesus’ marriage to church/bride climax at end of time
•    God knows all about loving, respect, selflessness
•    even greatest marriage won’t satisfy apart from God
•    everyone invited to be part of Christ’s “bride”
