Why would God create two polar opposite individuals who would someday co-habitate?
"One man and one woman are the substantial object of the invisible God, His son and His daughter. Man represents God's masculine (+) nature and woman represents God's feminine (-) nature. God -- the harmonized body of the dual characteristics -- is divided into two entities formed separately, and these separate bodies are to be united again to resemble God. "
This is the principle of creation.
When a man and a woman unite, they represent the original unity of God's plus nature and minus nature. They resemble God's harmonious body, and the husband and wife symbolize the whole of God.
A man who exhibits God's characteristics is True Father's incarnation and the woman is True Mother's incarnation respectively becoming representatives of God. You see a similar representation of this of a husband who is the reverend and the wife supports him centered on God's will taking care of the people with whom God entrusted them. Therefore, when a couple such as this becomes one in love they are embracing the entire universe as God. They become the central point of the entire cosmos.
We must change our thinking when we are entering marriage. Many marriages are just one-sided as a couple sees one another as a husband and wife. In the original principle of creation, God created Adam and Eve to relate on the sister and brother level first.
You can see this as the friend level or the 'getting to know you' level. Instead, they immediately entered into a sexual relationship without the foundation of relating as brothers and sisters under God.
Husband and wife represent more than man and woman relationship:
"A husband represents all men, so he is father and older and younger brother as well as husband; a wife represents all women, so she is mother and older and younger sister as well as wife. That's why husband and wife should naturally respect each other."
Man is God's positive external form and woman is God's negative external form, so a couple is like a bag which has inside it the whole universe. Therefore, a husband and wife can feel the ideal of God's heart of love.
Man symbolizes heaven and woman symbolizes earth. They are to unite and form parallel lines.
The perfection of man and woman's love is the perfection of the universe. When this love is broken, the order of the universe and the vertical world are destroyed. The world's situation all began with the corruption of love between a man and a woman who began a family that grew into a society, nation and world. If you look back at all great stories of kings, you will see that their major downfall was the corrupted love for a woman. You see also in the religious community, many high power men of faith lose their congregation's trust for the moment of lustfulness for a woman.
The Union of Man and Woman Equals Union of Heaven and Earth
You may hear or know of a man who says of his wife, "She is my whole world." Being in love gives the sense of ownership of the entire universe when you are completely united with your spouse centered on the love of God.
When a man and woman such as this embrace, it is the union of the whole universe itself. This interaction of husband and wife will resemble the appearance of the original creation in which God intended to be His ideal.
After Adam and Eve had a sexual relationship without God's authority, they were cursed:
The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and Eve and clothed them. And the Lord God said among the angels, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever." So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been created.
Genesis 3:21-23
Does this sound like the end of the fairy tale of a life lived in heaven on earth which God had envisioned before creation?
Adam's original purpose of creation was to unite with God, and his desire was to control the entire cosmos. Adam also cherished the value of husband and wife. This desire represented the central value of the world which God created. In today's evil society, do we see true love occupying couples as the central position?
No.
People only value selfish desires and having immediate gratification in a relationship and moving to the next without investing heart or true love. You should know the utmost value and holiness of the original love of a man and woman and should not follow the current trend of love which leads to destruction of the sanctity of marriage.
The Ideal Of The True Husband And Wife, Which Must Be Restored
When a man and woman decide they will be united in marriage, they should know that it is not just a union of two diverse backgrounds, but that they are also restoring the types of loves in the Garden of Eden which God lost. The son and daughter position, the brother and sister position, parent and child and the husband and wife position.
When a woman enters marriage, she should view her husband as God's son and representative. The current situation is that the roles of husband and wife have shifted.
The woman is in the position of a daughter to her husband and the husband should restore her as God's lost daughter. Through his love for his wife centered on God's will, he should restore the lost daughter's position.
This can explain that the first four or seven years of marriage is so difficult. If people realize that they are restoring an entire history of lost relationships whenever they relate upon each other, they will be more able to stay the original course when difficulties arise.
Therefore the wife should trust her husband more than she does her father. This is what the bible refers to that the man must leave his mother and father and join to his wife. They have to face each other centering on this standard, which is much more valuable than the sum of their past experiences. Unless they restore this heartistic standard, husband and wife cannot restore the standard of the ideal object, which was destroyed by Satan.
Husband and Wife Relation
Everyone was born into a family whether later on they separate or not, each person was born from the sexual relationship of a man and woman. We each learn about love and how to raise a family from our own family, even if this family is broken.
In that case, a husband should treat his wife as his mother, and become so intimate that they cannot bear to stay from one another for even a day. Their existence is absolutely needed by the other. If a man and woman do not have a relationship such as this, they do not have a condition to restore the three loves of daughter/son, sister/brother and husband/wife which they would pass this to their family.
God's original plan was that you and I would center our relationship of the opposite sex on Him by first becoming perfect, our other half would become perfected and we would enter the union of marriage with God as our center.
The original ideal wife is the incarnation of the mother, the representation of the mother's body for her husband. This is why women see their husband's 'immaturity' at times, because the original position of wife is also as the mother to her husband to help raise and restore this position.
The wife is also to be the physical encapsulation of an older sister and of a younger sister representing all women of the earth in front of her husband. Then a man loves his wife to this full extension of the mother, older and younger sister on the level of all humanity.
Likewise, a husband is the father's incarnation for his wife. He is also the physical encapsulation of her older brother and younger brother. We must accomplish this ideal of the family. A man is True Father's incarnation and a woman is True Mother's incarnation. Therefore, neglecting one's wife is like neglecting True Mother, and deceiving one's husband is the same as deceiving heaven.
A wife should consider her husband as her father and grandfather and then as her older brother and younger brother.
A husband is to raise up his wife as his younger sister, to love her as his bride and to serve her as his mother. He is to love his wife in the order of younger sister, older sister, bride, and mother. By going through this course, we can restore the love that God lost due to the fall.
"Why Do We Marry? We marry to discipline ourselves to love the world and to qualify ourselves to love humankind."
When we married centered on God, we receive the Blessing for the sake of God and the world. How do we love the world through the unity of our spouse? Our spouse represents the world, so when we love our spouse we love the world.
A woman should love her husband who is in place of her father, older brother, and younger brother, and a man is to love his wife in place of his mother, older sister and younger sister. A husband and wife who give stimulating love and respect one another who represent all four generations is an ideal couple. This relationship is the basic foundation to give and receive in worldwide love.
Now knowing the original standard of love in a family, we see how the world fell apart from the very first generation born into the Garden of Eden. There, the husband and wife were not united centered on God and the first brothers encountered conflict and murder. And we are here spreading this foundation for thousands of years.
The husband and wife relationship is the basic unit to give and receive worldwide love. Because Jesus couldn't set up this basic condition, the Marriage of the Lamb, bringing together a bride and a bridegroom representing the world, should be held this time.
Many women complain that their husbands are immature, but after seeing God's original ideal for a husband and wife, we see that a husband was to think of his wife as his mother. Rev. Moon told the men in his congregation,
"Unless you are determined you have to be the baby. Be a baby! It is not bad to be a baby. A woman likes a man playing on affections. Try it if she likes! Try crying over food like a baby. Don't worry. God won't scold you for your immature behavior. It is inevitable in the course of restoration. to restore the lost love of woman, you cannot restore the original family standard."
God has not had the experience of true parental love, conjugal love and children's love with one person; this results in His resentment and heartache, which must be restored. When those three kinds of love are induced through one person, the heartistic Kingdom of Heaven can be restored. Ultimately, the only problem is love.
Centered on a bride and bridegroom, they can begin a whole new history and restore the past mistakes of their ancestors. The couple stands in a position centered on God and can judge the past history and reverse these misdeeds through their interactions between one another. Uniting with God, they can begin a new history and become new ancestors not connected to the past mistakes.
When a bride and a bridegroom individually are restored through indemnity and become a husband and a wife representing heaven and earth, God will acknowledge them, saying, "You are the flesh of my flesh, the most dutiful son and the most loyal subject." Then they are qualified to represent all the nations of the world.
It is not easy to be a husband or a wife. Do you know how difficult it is for God to find an ideal object on this earth? After losing His sons and daughters, God has been establishing religions at the cost of great sacrifice through the course of history.
Dare you fight with each other after receiving such valuable love? It is easier to be the president of one nation than to be a husband or a wife of one family. The husband is the substantial God on earth. Man is the substantial representative of heaven and woman is the substantial representative of earth. When they are harmonized, the ideal is accomplished, filled with joy and song.
Knowing how long God has suffered to create a foundation based on a couple to restore the lost history of His ideal, can a husband and wife fight after receiving such valuable love?
It is easier to be president of the world than to be a husband and wife of one family. The husband represents the physical being of God and heaven and woman is the substantial representative of earth. When they harmonize the ideal of God's original purpose is accomplished and He is filled with joy.
"The power of love is limitless, so when you are intoxicated with God's love, you are in God's dominion."
God wants to establish a family which is objective to God and which is qualified to receive His love, so you shouldn't fight. It is not that the husband is not responsible for his wife's mistakes or that the husband can stand righteously while a wife does something evil. You should serve your spouse as God, more than you serve anybody else in the nation or world.A woman becomes God's object when she is happy to see her husband as she is to see the president. As God's object of love you have the same value as God, and when you completely love God your love can penetrate through any barrier and anywhere on earth. When you pass onto the spirit world with such love, you will be one with God.
True love can unite all the creation.
Your husband is sent by God, the Lord and the King. He carries God's bundle of love, so you cannot deny such a precious guest, whether he is handsome or not. Without this understanding, you are not qualified to get married."There is no boundary in love."
The whole universe will embrace in the realm of your love when you relate to the four directions with your love. You love subjects as if they are your King, humankind as the Lord and the universe as God. When you love based on this standard, this enables you to go to the Kingdom of Heaven which is the place where those who love humankind with the same love as their own spouses or their Lord can go. Love Humankind as your own brothers, sisters and mother and father. When you see an elderly man in the streets and you see them as your own grandparents and treat them as such, this brings Heaven on Earth.
Man is in the subject position and does not like it when anyone intervenes with his affairs. But true love and truth can control anybody. Woman likes and wants to receive love and becomes passive in this situation. From this viewpoint, man is to be the giver and woman is the receiver. This is why the oneness of man and woman is also the oneness of heaven and earth.
"Only love can dominate the universe."
Since your only obtain true love from your spouse, when you consider this, your spouse's value is greater than the universe. We all desire to have an object who can receive and cherish us.
You are to love people.
The husband represents all men to his wife and is the representative of all the men of the nation, the world and the spirit world. Also, the wife is the representative of all the women in the nation, world and spirit world.
In the process of building the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth, the man should relate and love all the women of the world as he loves his wife. A man should think that he chose his wife as the companion who represents all the women of the world and the women should think the same of her husband.
What do you have to love first in order to love your nation?
Before a man can love his nation, he must be able to love one woman as the representative of all women in the nation, and the same is true for women. When these two representatives become one through a holy marriage and begin a family, that family belongs to heaven. This is the beginning of establishing Heaven on Earth and in Heaven.
