Marriage Minute 10-27-19 Facts the Bible Tells Us about Marriage: Compiled & Edited by Crosswalk.com
A Biblical definition of marriage.
Marriage was instituted by God in the Garden of Eden at the time of man’s creation as a union between man and woman (Genesis 2:18-24).
Marriage is:
- An indissoluble relationship except on the highest grounds (Matthew 19:9).
- A monogamous relationship between husband and wife as stated in the original law (Matthew 19:5, 1 Corinthians 6:16).
- The husband and wife are equal before God (Ephesians 5:29-31, 1 Peter 3:7).
- The relationship is to reflect the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27).
- The husband is the loving head of the relationship and wife is subordinate. (1 Corinthians 11:8-9, 1 Timothy 2:13, Ephesians 5:21-33, Colossians 3:19,1 Peter 3:1-6).
- The relationship is fruitful (Genesis 1:28a).
In summary, a marriage is an intimate and complementing union between a man and a woman in which the two become one, in the whole of life. The purpose of marriage is to reflect the relationship of the Godhead and to serve Him. Although the curse of sin has marred the divine purpose and function of marriage, still marriage reflects the God-ordained ideal from the beginning.
