Marriage is the union of one man and one woman for life as established by God. Marriage was designed by God for happiness of human race and therefore, must be held in honor. Marriage creates room for love which should be expressed in an intimate manner and it designed for reproduction.
Both husband and wife have part to play in institution. The husband must devote himself for the good of his wife and the wife must commit herself to her husband. Marriage must be held in mutual submission and equal responsibility.
Marriage has three major aspects
The two of them become one flesh in the commitment and intimacy to the glorious and fantastic union that is reserved for marriage
The two of them are joined together by helping each other and by loving each other above others.
On the part of the man he lives his parents and in a public declaration pledges himself to his wife.
Marriage is one of God's methods to keep men and women from fornication and adultery.
For marriage to sustained there must be love, kindness, tenderness, submission, the wife should respect and obey her husband and the husband should love and care for the wife but the submission of the wife to the husband should not be obliterate or nullify the woman's personality. It should not be subjugation nor imposed obedience; the submission must be motivated by love and should be voluntary subordination.
The husband is the head of the family and headship has the idea of authority but a wise husband must be considerate, he must have good understanding and should be able to bear with his wife, he must not take advantage of his role and the wife must not try to undermine her husband's leadership.
