subject: Biblical Truths About Marriage That Everyone Should Know [print this page] A marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman. Marriage and eternal companionship separates us from others in the animal kingdom. Marriage the holy bond between two gods followers thus finds so much importance among Biblical truths. Look around you and you will see divorce and separation increasing our society. Why is such a nasty thing happening? Why are we becoming so individualistic and not respecting the sacred bond? Modernism is taking us away from Christian truth. Those who still abide by the Biblical truth of marriage and companionship continue to enjoy a blessed and joyous life.
Genesis 2:18 narrates God saying It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him. For that perfect companionship God created woman out of the mans ribs. Genesis 2:23-24 the man said This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, for she was taken out of man. That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. This Biblical truth has guided mankind over many centuries into creating families and gaining love and wisdom.
Marriage is the unity and maturity in the body of Lord Jesus Christ. This is well explained in Ephesians 4:2-6 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. Embracing this Christian truth in letter and spirit creates an eternal bond between the man and his wife.
Often we witness small issues creating permanent void between two individuals. Why have we turned so unaccommodating? Why has I become more important that us for a married couple? The Biblical truth offers us the perfect guide to keeping the holy union as Proverbs 17:14 states Starting a quarrel is like breaching a dam; so drop the matter before a dispute breaks out. When you come across such a situation in your lives measure what you would loose and what you would gain. On most occasions you would realise you have more to lose starting such a quarrel.
A man should always learn to respect his wife as Proverbs 19:14 rightly puts it Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the Lord. Thus the man should always love his wife and ensure her all the happiness and joys in life and shield her from all sorrows in life. Woman surrounds her world upon her man which is well reflected in Proverbs 31:12 says She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
