Firstly the Bible begins by saying, "In the beginning God (Elohim/plural) created." Love and communication have always occurred between the members of the Trinity so therefore 'love' has meaning.

Our innate understanding of love and the like find their base here in the always-ness relationship of the Trinity. Our Bible doesn't begin in this way for no reason.

Remove this verse from the Bible and Christianity falls into a heap. Let me give an example of something like this to a far lesser extent. Christmas has lost its feeling because for two millenium we have celebrated one third of the Trinity. All avlues and meaning for us the human are derived from the nature of this relationship between the memebrs of the Trinity. if we begin anywhere else, we can expect trouble with mathematical certainty.

Second thing to remember is that when Eve was on her date with the serpant in the garden, where was Adam? I recommend 'True Spirituality' by Francis A Schaeffer or, 'The Call' by Dr Os Guinness.

Look at the way your partners family interacts- family origin. This will have a major affect on how you will respond in your own family. Sometimes whether you like it or not. Something you may need to discuss before marriage. Are you a 'meshed' type of person with your family involved in everything?, or do you like your distance? No one is better or worst, but if you a a 'meshed' kind of person and the person you want to marry is a distance type person, you are going to have to let them get used of the idea that his/her mother-in-law may know more than your partner would like! And set some boundaries before you get married on what is just between you and what you share!
