This account is narrated in Genesis 1, 26-28<br />26. And the Elohim said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let him have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the foul of the air, and over the cattle of the earth, and over creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.<br />27. So the Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of the Elohim created he him, male and female created he them.<br />28. And the Elohim blessed them, and the Elohim said unto them, be fruit full and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.<br />The following titled Marriage is Unity, is from the book The Seed Master by Ken Nunoo, reflects this thought.<br />Marriage is a unity between two people<br />It is a decision that should be made by choice<br />For the free will and consent of both participants<br />Are necessary for the union of the two<br />Marriage is unity<br /> <br />The number one is the number of marriage<br />Where there were two people<br />They unite to become as one<br />Two minds united as one mind<br /> <br />To unite two separate things as one<br />A common bond has to exist<br />That unifies the two people<br />For the two are originally separate individuals<br /> <br />It is not easy and simple <br />To unite any two things together<br />For two people, with two different personalities<br />With two different aspirations and hopes<br />With two different goals<br />To come as one, with a single objective<br />Is not an easy task<br /> <br />It is impossible for two people<br />To desire the same things<br />It is impossible for two people <br />To want to eat the same thing<br />It is impossible for two people<br />To want to drink the same thing<br /> <br />It is impossible for two people<br />To continuously want to watch the same movie<br />It is impossible for two people<br />To continuously like the same music<br />It is impossible for two people<br />To continuously want to be at the same place at the same time<br /> <br />With all these obstacles<br />Why then do we aspire to marry?<br />Keeping in mind that marriage is unity<br />Unity at all levels<br /> <br />There is a way around these impossibilities<br />It is truly indeed impossible to be someone else<br />If only we will be aware of the fact that <br />Physical union at any level is impossible<br />Live and let me live is the rule of life<br /> <br />To overcome all these impossibilities<br />Each individual must recognize their separate existence<br />Not to attempt to mold and shape<br />The other person to our own liking<br /> <br />What the other person is by habits<br />Is what you accept<br />What you see is what you get<br />If the person is fat<br />Accept the person as fat<br />Do not try to change the person to be slim<br /> <br />Physical union is impossible<br />But mental union is possible<br />For the whole idea of unity<br />Is a state of mind<br />Love is mental, and not real.<br /> <br />One can mentally choose to accept something<br />And we can mentally choose to reject something<br />Love is a state of mind<br />Love is a mental idea<br />Love is not tangible<br />It is a conglomerate of expectations<br /> <br />Marriage must allow freedom of choice<br />Marriage must allow freedom of expression<br />Marriage must allow individuality<br />Marriage is a mental acceptance of the other<br />Marriage is a tolerance of each other<br /> <br /> <br />To agree to marry<br />Is to agree to accept the other<br />Regardless of their short comings<br />For who are you?<br />to think that you are better than the other.<br /> <br />When an individual lacks the ability to freely be<br />When they lack their freedom<br />Their happiness is taken away from them<br />Lack of happiness, compels a dissolution of marriage<br /> <br />Do not blame the other for your own faults<br />Do not accuse the other of your own deceit<br />Do not rob the other of their own desire to be<br />Lack of individuality, compels a dissolution of marriage<br /> <br />If one cannot express themselves freely when they are married<br />Why would one choose a prison over freedom<br />Would you want to live in a cage?<br />Or would you rather want to have freedom of choice<br />Lack of choice, compels a dissolution of marriage<br /> <br />If one has to give up their friends for marriage<br />If one has to give up their carrier for marriage<br />If one has to give up their joys for marriage<br />Then what good is marriage<br />For the person is not making progress in life<br /> <br />Marriage should be the other way around<br />Not for one to give up what they have<br />But rather the other adds what they already have<br />Bringing into the marriage more of themselves<br /> <br />When you buy a house<br />You get it with all the roaches and the rats therein<br />Marriage is similar<br />Everything the other posses<br />Becomes a part of each other’s life<br />Accept them if you will<br /> <br />But if you choose to marry<br />Be ready to accept them than reject them<br />Be ready to add other person’s burden to your burden<br />Be ready to work for one another<br /> <br />Two people may unite<br />Not only with the thought to reproduce<br />But you must be willing to assist each other<br />Financially, physically, and mentally<br /> <br />Life is a harsh road<br />The road to paradise is lined with obstacles<br />You may come across many challenges in marriage<br />But keep the principle of unity in mind<br /> <br />If marriage life is less progressive for you<br />Then by all means go your separate ways<br />Life is a try and error<br />You cannot choose correctly all the time<br />And do not blame yourself<br />For your lack of fore sight<br /> <br />Human beings change with time<br />What you married today<br />May be different a year from now<br />If it does not please you<br />Accept it or reject it<br />No condition is permanent<br /> <br />Nothing last forever<br />Accept also that your marriage may dissolve<br />Therefore, do not shut the doors everywhere<br />Thinking you have a permanent sure thing<br />Life have unforeseen expectations<br />Be prepared to go on with your life alone<br /> <br />If you bare children, be prepared to raise them<br />The child you have brought into this world<br />It is your duty to take care of<br />What you create is your burden<br />The earth is a burden of God<br /> <br />Be prepared to be a single parent<br />Whether male or female, it may become your task<br />Unforeseen adventures, may shutter your relationship<br />The hand of destiny itself<br />May even call the other for a higher duty<br /> <br />Dissolve your marriage without war<br />Dissolve your marriage without killing one another<br />Dissolve your marriage without hate<br />Do not shut the door permanently<br />Making enemies out of people, that were once lovers<br /> <br />Forgive one another of each other’s faults<br />Forgive and forget and move on<br />A lasting grief or hatred does you no good<br />Do not let the sorrows of the past<br />Rob you of the joys of today and tomorrow<br /> <br />Do not start to do things<br />That you know you cannot do indefinitely with time<br />Set a pace, such that whatever you do <br />Each of you can continue indefinitely<br />Moderation here is the rule<br /> <br />The pace at which the relationship starts<br />Is what the other person will always expect<br />Do not buy each other presents every week<br />If you cannot afford to do so indefinitely<br />Moderation is the rule of life<br /> <br />You two must not go out dancing every week<br />If you two cannot maintain that pace indefinitely<br />You two must not make love every day<br />If you two cannot make love continuously, indefinitely<br />Moderation is the rule of life<br /> <br />You two must not go to the movies every week<br />If you two cannot maintain that pace indefinitely<br />You two must not go out dinning every week<br />If you two cannot go out dinning every week indefinitely<br />Moderation is the rule<br /> <br />Variety is the spice of life<br />Introduce continuous change of environment<br />Change of place of entertainment<br />Randomize anything and everything you do<br />Randomization creates continuous variety and change<br />Randomization removes the element of expectation<br /> <br />Monotony creates boredom<br />Boredom is a result of repetition<br />Human nature desires variety<br />Human nature desires change<br />Change is the spice of life<br /> <br />Give each other freedom to be and become<br />By allowing the other to be free<br />You give freedom to yourself<br />Stop babysitting one another<br />Grow up as adults that can be responsible<br /> <br />Women be proud of your husbands<br />Give him recognition for his achievements<br />Give him praises for his work<br />Give him support for what he does<br /> <br />A man’s pride is the work of his hand<br />A woman’s pride and joy is her family<br />What a man accomplishes by the work of his hands<br />Is what the man takes pride in<br />The children are the pride and joy of the woman<br />So know where to give praises and recognition<br /> <br />Do not soak each other’s mind with promises<br />Promises not delivered feels the same<br />As having had something and lost them<br />Do not make promises you know you cannot keep<br />Flattery is good, but be sincere in your praises<br />Let truth be truth<br />Speak your mind freely<br />Be yourself at all times<br />Refrain from hypocrisy and pretensions<br />In the end the shade of illusions will fade<br />And the true nature of things will be revealed<br /> <br />Honesty is important in a marriage<br />Loyalty is important<br />But freedom of expression <br />Must go hand in hand with honesty and loyalty<br />A word spoken can not be taken back<br />A stab with the tongue, cannot be patched<br /> <br />The house of marriage is like a country with a government<br />One person must be elected as governor of the house<br />Whether it be the man or the woman<br />That decision of choice is between the two of you<br /> <br />Cut out the selfish attitude<br />Life cannot revolve around you alone<br />Life cannot revolve around one person in the house<br />Each has a role to play in the team<br />Marriage is team work<br /> <br />Children obey your parents, where necessary<br />Do not hesitate to question your parent’s decision<br />Reason with your parents<br />Often they know better by experience<br />Often their choices and decisions are better for you <br /> <br />Parents recognize your children when they grow<br />Know that the times change<br />With change comes adjustment of behavior<br />With change comes, changes of our social structure<br />With change comes, changes of personalities and needs<br /> <br />Parents, therefore give an ear to your children<br />Prevent them from causing harm to them selves<br />Guide them, but refrain from controlling them<br />Counsel them, but don’t judge them<br />Boys, cut the bad boy attitude<br />Girls cut the “I am all that attitude”<br />Refrain from your petty jealousies<br />Keep harmony at home <br />Keep harmony at school at all times<br /> <br />Be yourselves at all times<br />Refrain from the copy cat versions of life<br />If a person dresses in a certain way for their comfort<br />There is no need to dress like them, or talk like them<br />Be who you are, not some one else.<br /><br />Recommended songs by Ken Nunoo<br /><br /><a href="http://www.lulu.com/content/1272603">Love is gentle</a><br /><a
