With Marriage Comes Fulfillment and Commitment (Genesis 2:23)

Oftentimes Bible translations render Genesis 2:23 along the lines of, “This is *now* bone of my bones...” But Adam actually used a word that means “finally” or “at last,” which says a mouthful not only about his attitude, but also about the ideal, godly attitude of every husband and wife.Music Credit: J.
