Marriage that Works - Marriage - A Holy Covenant, Part 1
Chip begins this series with a fresh look at marriage - the way God intended it to be and the way you long for it to be.
Main Points
God's instructions for a great marriage
- It requires mutual submission to God and each other. - Ephesians 5:21
- You need to know how to love your mate.
- Your marriage has an even bigger purpose than your happiness.
Marriage is a holy covenant
- A covenant: An agreement and guarantee one person makes with another.
A covenant marriage involves three distinct aspects:
- Leaving
- Cleaving
- Becoming "one flesh"
Since marriage is a covenant and not merely a contract...
- Divorce is not an option. - Malachi 2:14
- Adultery is a serious covenant breaking offense. - Proverbs 2:16-19
- Sex before marriage is a violation of this holy covenant. - Hebrews 13:4
- Same sex relationships are forbidden as a violation of God’s design. - 1 Corinthians 6:9; Romans 1:26-27
