A LETTER TO MIGRANT COUPLE IN CANADA

I know how hard it is for you this time. I understand deeply what Ken and you are going through, but come to think of it. You are indeed very lucky.

Very few are given a chance to apply God's law in their relationship. You know how God instituted marriage in the first place. He is the one who gave laws to regulate that union, so man and woman could live together in real, deep-down happiness and joy. God "created man in His image, in the image of God created He him: male and female created He them" (Gen. 1:27).

At creation, Almighty God saw it was not good for a man to be alone, but created a woman as a wife for him. God "blessed them", and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it". (Gen. 1:28). God said, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh" (Gen. 2:24)

Notice, when God put Adam and Eve on this earth, He revealed to them the basic laws of marriage: "and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee", God said to Eve.(Gen. 3:16)

Be submissive to your husband because that is what God wants. He intended you to be your husband's helpmate, not his boss.

Instead of obeying the laws Almighty God has established and revealed to Adam which would have guaranteed success, long life and happy marriage, Eve disobeyed - and then Adam followed meekly along in her disobedience and they lost everything.

The creator said in His wisdom that it was "not good that the man should be alone" and so declared He would "make him an helpmate [fitting] for him (Gen.2:18)

Where you are now is a fabulous modern paradise with many opportunities for advancement. You decide for yourselves. No elders meddling with your plans. You can rear your children the way God projected it under your guidance. Think of it. No "in-law troubles". You have everything to indicate that a brilliant life and successful marriage lay ahead of you.

Keep cool, calm and collected. God is with you and with Him you cannot get lost..

Your dad
