Christian marriage is viewed as a scared covenant between a man and a woman, ordained by God. It is meant to reflect the relationship between Christ and the Church, as described in the Bible, particularly in passage like
Ephesians 5:22-25 - Wives submit yourselves unto your own husabnds, as unto the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husband in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.
A husband must love the wives, and wives must love the husband. A husband must lead their wives to the Lord and provide for their own wives as well. The relationship is built on mutual love, respect, and commitment, with both partners striving to honor God and each other. Christian marriage emphasizes unity, faithfulness, and the raising of children in a godly environment. The first reference to marriage is found in Genesis 2:24 - “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.”
When being in Marriage you must bring God in the center of it, Joshua said "me and my house we will serve the Lord", couple must serve the Lord whatever they do.
2 Keys principles from the Bible define marriage:
1: Covenant Relationship: Marriage is not just a contract but a covenant -- a sacred promise between the couple and God. In Malachi 2:14 - 4 Yet ye say, Wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant. It is clear that God sees marriage as a serious, lifelong covenant
2: Children and Family: Marriage also has the purpose of procreation and raising children in the faith, in Psalms 127:3-5 -
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
What about during arguments? In marriage there will be arguments, but you guys can talk about things and solve the problems, arguments don't lead to anything but cause division. During Marriage there will be ups and downs but always work things out for one another and solve it like a puzzle. A husband must lead the wife in prayer, bible study and lead her to Christ. Christ love marriage, he even spoke it about it in Matthew 19. God ordained marriage for a reason, but also God hates divorces as well, read (Malachi 2:16.
