Though the first part of “Why marriage?” came from wife Nani
Three “C” reasons to get married she proceeded to outline
Based on biblical passages, the list was more than just fine
The first is children, as per Genesis one verse twenty eight
“Be fruitful and multiply” God did say to Adam and his mate
For God was seeking godly offspring, per Malachi chapter two
Bringing life and light to this world is one thing we should do
Children are a heritage from God says Psalm one twenty seven
And He will provide for them because His love is from heaven
The second is companionship for God knows who we need
Although not all are to be married, as from Paul we do read
Ecclesiastes four talks of a man alone with no end to his toil
And that two are better than one even when working the soil
The third is a love beyond all others, Christ and the church
His sacrificial love is a paradigm and example we can research
Per Ephesians five, marriage helps cleanse each other’s heart
Making for a union much stronger than each individual part
To add some more comments on how, the stage Josh took
And into Paul's letter to the Ephesians he did carefully look
He pointed out that of God’s standards we have all fallen short
Remember the Pharisees with the adulteress and Jesus’ retort
It is not for us to condemn those who in Jesus do not believe
We should show love and pray that His grace they do receive
For per Ephesians chapter one, Christ’s blood gives us grace
We all need this as we attempt to navigate in our lifetime race
Per Ephesians three, we need to be strengthened by His might
For God is the perfect role model, a loving father emitting light
As believers, we need knowledge of the heart, not just the head
For the all-important love comes from the heart, Josh then said
Per Ephesians four, we should not walk as others in darkness
But must live the truth first before highlighting others’ mess
In conclusion, marriage is impossible for us, Josh did say
Unless of course God is involved and central every day
