God created man in His own image . . . male and female He created them.  God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply. . . . God saw all that He had made,

and behold, it was very good. . . . A man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

Now the man had relations with his wife Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, “I have gotten a manchild with the help of the Lord.”  [Along the way sin entered the picture.  Doing family in this sinful world can be] “. . . great tribulation, [or]

. . . happiness . . . rejoic[ing, and God’s] reward. (Genesis 1:27-28, 31, 2:24-25, 4:1, Matthew 24:21, Deuteronomy 24:5, Proverbs 5:18) 
This class will help us, and help us help others, to make it the latter.
