​In this subchapter, we’ll continue with our review of Adam and Eve because their experience is our experience as their posterity. Moreover, we’ll look at a series of ascensions that the Bible presents that will leads us back into God’s presence as we become like Him.

​In this subchapter, we’ll consider Dr. Gottman’s first principle about “love maps” - how loving your spouse requires first that you know them. But even before that, you can't know your spouse unless they know themselves. Here, we’ll consider the important theology on how the Bible reveals information about who we are, why we are on Earth and where we are going.

These are the resources we'll be using for Principles of Biblical Marriage

​In this chapter, we’ll consider the first topic for becoming perfected – the Godliness of Marriage. After God created Adam and Eve, He commanded Adam and Eve to become one or in other words God married them. As one of the first actions that God required of the Earth's first inhabitants, the creation story reveals important information on what God expects of Humanity.  What God is revealing to Humanity is that He expects us to marry and to have families.  And for those who Go Onto Perfection to be like God, marriage becomes an everlasting commitment.

​Previously, we finished the section on Sanctification - becoming God’s Covenant People and a New Creation of the Holy Spirit. In this chapter, we begin a new section on Exaltation. Under Exaltation we become God’s Sons and Daughters, a New Creation of the Son and receive Eternal Life in the House of the Father. Individuals who reach this level of blessedness become God’s savior leaders by executing individual covenants.   In this chapter, we’ll present an overview of Exaltation, which includes the general concepts of Going Onto Perfection, Becoming Perfected, Reaching the Full Stature of Messiah and becoming a New Creation of the Son, and more.

​In the last chapter, we introduced the concept of Married Exaltation, which is our next stage of ascension as we strive to be more like God. The process we see here of transformation is Going Onto Perfection that the Apostle Paul introduces in the sixth chapter of Hebrews.  Moreover, in chapter six, we’ll​ review the two examples of perfection in Abraham and Yeshua as our models of ascension for those who ascend into Married Exaltation.

​In this brief introduction, we’ll look at the concept of Married Exaltation.  Above Individual Salvation is the blessedness of Married Exaltation.  Perfection in Messiah cannot be achieved unless a person is married. We see this requirement in the Garden and in the Law for priests to be married.  We also see this curious marriage at Cana mentioned in the second chapter of John. ​All of which points to the importance of marriage. Moreover, when we look at the Davidic Covenant, marriage is essential.

​This chapter wraps-ups being Born of God and Individual Salvation with being Sealed by the Holy Spirit. When a person has proven their loyalty to God by passing the Baptism of Fire and has overcome their carnal nature and received the gifts of the Spirit through the Baptism of the Spirit, their covenants of Sanctification are made permanent and unconditional. This state of having one’s covenants made permanent and unconditional is known as being Sealed by the Holy Spirit. Moreover, ​they receive a tangible manifestation of the Spirit witnessing their ascent to a new level of blessedness.
