A friend and I got to talking yesterday about who had the perfect marriage. We decided that Adam and Eve probably had the perfect marriage. Here are a few things we laughed about that explains our thinking on this.
Reasons why we think Adam & Eve had the perfect marriage…
- Eve never had to hear Adam talk about how good his mom cooked.
- Eve never had to question Adam’s faithfulness and ask, “Are you sure there’s no one else?”
- Adam never lied when he told Eve she was the best looking woman in the whole world.
- Adam never went off fishing with his buddies.
- Adam never had to hear about all the men Eve could have married.
- Eve didn’t need to clothes shop.
- Adam believed Eve when she looked him in the eyes and said, “You know you’re the only one for me?”
- Adam never had to answer the age old question that gets all men in trouble, “Honey, do I look fat in this fig leaf?”
- Adam didn’t have to pay for a different pair of shoes for every outfit Eve owned.
Can you think of any other reasons that Adam and Eve had a perfect marriage?
I am a Christian husband and father, who moonlights as the minister for the church of Christ in Childress, Texas. My wife Lea and I have been married for 21 years. We are doing our best to raise our 4 boys, who are all growing up way too fast.
being naked all the time might have led to lots of sex.

Adam and Eve didn’t have to honeymoon or vacation in paradise to “get away.” They LIVED in paradise!
They didn’t have to wonder who they would invite to their wedding … or where they would have it.
Eve didn’t have to worry about Adam hogging the remote all the time so he could watch Nascar.
Every time Eve got mouthy all Adam had to do was point to his side… he had 24 others waiting in line.
they may have had a perfect marriage, but did ya have one after they got kick out , for eatting the apple?
In the garden, Adam never had to hear Eve say, “Ooh, you’re not going to wear that are you? Those fig leaves don’t match!”
Eve never had to pick up dirty socks or underwear!
…and paradise would have a speedway IN it so you wouldn’t HAVE to watch races on TV!!! Go Tony!
adam never had to suffer through soap operas
Neither of them had to wonder if their spouse was the “one” for them.
I love hanging out with my wife so much. Put the two of us in paradise… If only…
NO IN-LAW FIGHTS!
That said, in the end she ate him out of house and home.
Gas prices never strained the family budget.
There were no “Joneses” to keep up with.
Adam had a great buddy he would walked with in the cool of the day.
I have really enjoyed your thoughts!

Hilarious! I’m starting a series on marriage in my adult Bible class this Sunday. I’m using this!
I wonder if “that time of the month” became painful with the curse… if so…
Adam and Eve had the perfect marriage because there was no PMS-ing.
They had a perfect marriage because God made them for each other. We sometimes don’t make good choices.
Adam never had to go to the office or go off on long business trips.
Eve didn’t have to iron.
