Purpose of Marriage 3       “But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.   The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband” (1 Corinthians 7:2-3).     The third purpose of marriage is to avoid sexual immorality.   In 1 Corinthians 7:2-3, it states, "“But since there is so much immorality, each man should have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.   The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband."   The issue of sexual immorality is often associated with physical union before or outside of marriage, but it can also be seen as a matter of the heart and thoughts prior to physical connection.   This is because immorality that arises in the heart and thoughts precedes physical union.   In our current society, like Sodom and Gomorrah, people seek sexual pleasur...

Purpose of Marriage 2       “Has not the LORD made them one? In flesh and spirit they are his. And why one?   Because he was seeking godly offspring.   So guard yourself in your spirit, and do not break faith with the wife of your youth” (Malachi 2:15).       The second purpose of marriage is to raise godly children.   Malachi 2:15 states that God desires to have godly offspring.   It is our responsibility to bear children intentionally.   Couples who deliberately choose not to have children are committing a sin.   Raising the children we bear into godly individuals is a challenging and significant responsibility.   If the process of married life involves realizing how challenging it is for a man and a woman to love each other according to the teachings of the Bible, then raising children in a manner aligned with God's will after having them is also a realization of how difficult and challenging it is in ma...

Purpose of Marriage 1     “The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone.   I will make a helper suitable for him.’   Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.     So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field. But for Adam no suitable helper was found.   So the LORD God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man's ribs and closed up the place with flesh.   Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.   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.’   For this reason a man will leave his father an...
