What is Marriage?

We'll reveal the purpose of marriage using Christian standards.

We'll define marriage through the eyes of God and help you understand what it really means to be married.

But if you had asked either of us to define marriage about fifteen years ago, we probably would have said something like this;

"The purpose of marriage is to legally join a man and a woman who love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together."

Oh, we would have also said that marriage is 50/50. Guess what? It's not!

Sadly, at that time, our definition of marriage resembled something out of Webster's Dictionary. We were correct to a degree but not entirely.

On top of that, there was something missing from our definition. Do you know what that something was? It was God.

We both knew that God was suppose to be a part of marriage but we didn't really know what that meant.

Ignorance about marriage is the reason why many marriages fail.

We wanted a Godly marriage but we weren't exactly sure what that looked like or how to properly define marriage. So, we took our question to the creator of marriage, God.

When we asked God the question, "What is marriage?"

Sure, you could look to the world to define marriage for you, but it's likely you won't find the true meaning.

You see, the world has many ideas about marriage such as common law marriage, open marriages, and even gay Christian marriage.

But none of those ideas agree with the heart of God.

God's desire is that you know His heart regarding marriage. Don't try and imitate the world or what you've seen on TV.

Yes, you live in this world; but you are not of this world.

So, put down all of your ideas and traditional teachings and pick-up the heart of your Heavenly Father. Only He can show you the meaning and purpose of marriage.

After all, it was all His idea.
