red lights called Enemies,
caution lights called Family.
You will have flats called Jobs.

an engine called Perseverance,
insurance called Faith,
a driver called Jesus Christ,
you will make it to a place called Success.

MARRIAGE by Seventh Day adventist (SDA) counsel to couple:

Eve was created from a rib taken from the side of Adam, signifying she was not to control him as the head, nor to be trampled under his feet as an inferior , but to stand by his side as an equal, to be loved and protected by him. A part of man, bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh, she was his second self, showing the close union and the affectionate attachment that should exist in this relation … ELLEN
G WHITE … Patriarchs & Prophets p.46
>

> The Home of our first parents was to be a pattern for other homes as their children should go forth to occupy the earth. That home, beautified by the hand of GOD Himself , was not a gorgeous palace…God placed Adam in a garden… In the surrounding of the holy pair was a lesson for all time--- that true happiness is found, not in the indulgence of pride and luxury, but
in communion with GOD through His created works…
> Pride and ambition are never satisfied , but those who are truly wise will find substantial and
elevating pleasure in the sources of enjoyment that GOD has placed within the reach of all. EGW
> Patriarchs & Prophets p.49,50

that grew from a tiny pod,
Is the miracle and the mystery
Of all creation and God!
