After many years of teaching, preaching, and counseling on God’s purpose and plan for marriage, I have a lot to say on the subject. Often I summarize it all into this sentence…

 

Marriage is

… a holy covenant

…initiated by God

…conditioned on an irrevocable promise

…to pursue oneness

…with an imperfect person

…of the opposite sex

…for a lifetime

…for the glory of God.

 

Whatever else our decaying culture may say, God’s definition has never changed.  Are you allowing God to define your ideas about what marriage is?
