Biblical Marriage

In the beginning God created the world then He created Adam and Eve Biblical Marriage results in the joining of two people into one unit. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. - Genesis 2:24.

Biblical Marriage is a life-long commitment to a relationship that is closer than a blood relative. But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife except through marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress and anyone who marries the divorced women will commit adultery. - Matthew 5:32

It’s not to be ended by divorce, except in the case of death, or one of the partner’s commits adultery. But at the beginning of creation, God made them male and female. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife and the two will be one flesh. So they are no longer two but one. Therefore, what God has joined together let man not separate. - Mark 10: 6-9.

The marriage relationship is honorable and the marriage bed kept pure by all, it is only defiled by sexual infidelity (a sexual relationship with someone who is not one of the partners in the marriage). For God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. - Hebrews 13:4

Biblical marriage is to be enjoyable.

A man who does not take care of his own family is worse than an unbeliever.

It is his responsibility to value his wife by giving priority to the marriage relationship, and by sacrificing himself for his wife if this is necessary.

1. He is to regard his wife as an indication of the Lord’s blessing.
2. His responsibility to his wife comes before his work or his political duties.
3. A responsible Christian is to be a one-woman man.
   

He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the Lord. - Proverbs 18:22.

“A Christian husband must be above reproach, a husband of one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, must manage his children and his household well.” - Timothy 3:2-12.

The Christian husband is to treat his wife with respect, since Christian marriage is a partnership rather than a master/slave relationship. “Husbands in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the precious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayer.” - 1Peter 3:7.

“Husbands love your wives just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by washing with water through the word. In the same way husband ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. Wife, love and respect your husband as you love your body.” - Ephesians 5:25-33.

The Christian married couple has equal responsibility to exercise leadership in the house and the children.
