Why do so many couples live out their relationship feeling unfulfilled and even unhappy. When God finished creating marriage on the sixth day, He said, "it is very good." If God said it is so great, why does it often not feel this way?\nThere is an answer and God spells it out in Genesis! There is hope for your marriage, if we go back to God's' plan!\n\xa0\nSeries description:\nTo understand life, we must understand where it all began. The question of, "Why are we here..." can be answered by, "Who made us." If we are here because of a cosmic accident, that means that we are part of a random accident that happened millions of years ago. But if we were created by a creator, then our life has purpose and meaning because we were planned and desired!To understand life, we must understand our beginning! Origins will be an in-depth study of the first chapters of the Bible that explains the foundations and purpose for everything!\n\n\xa0\n\n\nORIGINS: The Foundation of Life & Purpose\n\nThe Origin of Marriage\n\xa0\nAccording to the Bible...\nI.
