MAN & WOMAN | PURPOSE FUNCTION & ROLE

Romans 12:1-2 NKJV — I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God

Probably the main problem we have in the world is in relationships especially the primary one between man and woman

The understanding of the who what why when and how of who they are.

Because of this lack of knowledge men and women make bad relationship choices which ultimately lead to heartache, heartbreak, pain and suffering in their lives.

This article will outline scriptures detailing the function the purpose and the roles of man and woman.
