There are so many people expressing disappointment and heartache within their marriage. I would like to begin this thread in hopes we can study and discuss the Bible’s principles regarding marriage. Let’s discuss what the Word says about what constitutes a godly marriage and also the wisdom of God in selecting a compatible Christian wife or husband.

There is such a wild menagerie of counsel in this modern world and so much misinformation that it’s no wonder so many marriages end in divorce. Please let’s seek God together on this and discuss what the Bible says in truth (as opposed to opinion) about marriage.

Mark…8AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9"What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."

My favorite story is Issac and Rebecca, how he prayed lord let the one to be my wife draw water for me and my camels.

Hmm!

The best WORD could give a person is: marry this and avoid that but, it´s my opinion the problem is not on marriage itself, but the way we approached to it.

God´s word invited (and still invite) us to be chaste, virgins, but many of us approached the bed of marriage defiled, and sometimes ill biased the way this beated world led us to live: In sin.

One of those words Paul said, regarding marriage, was "coitus", in Greek, and this was translated as "bed", perhaps as a pious term or as a wrong euphemism leading to chastity; but marriage was sold out like food, like hot bread, and many here and outthere were wronged.

Sometime I felt marriage was disregarded, but it took me time the problem is with individuals, people, who hurt (and it´s also with those we hurt) because it´s easy to say "we´re the victims" and many have seen no one is absolutely innocent at divorces.

As John the Baptist said, marriage is a gift: "No one can receive anything good if that doesn´t come from above".

I´m aware I do not fit to it. I prefer to think I´m a eunuch and, the country and some ways I´m living now, have convinced me I´d better staying away from it, because I wasted too much time, like a placeable tired iron...

:eek:

The book of Tobias (one that is used by Catholics) has a good and well-intended prayer BEFORE being married.

Isn't it strange the tests and qualifications you must pass in order to acquire a driver's license or a real estate license or a fishing license (or any other legal permit)? But any two "love-struck" people can wander into the justice of the peace and get married and then bear children. With no experience, no counseling, no guidelines.

The Bible holds the lessons and the counseling and the guidelines. :)

Good nailed comparison!

perhaps marriage was intended for a license to be PILOTS, where one could be co-pilot but, more than these temporal concerns, this thing is earthly.

I have no idea on how LOVE would be next life but, the license could be gotten inside Christianhood, because outside of this, too few people would see it as a commitment, just because it´s easily thought as limited or imagined as a long-termed relationship and, real life, is just confirming how temporal it is: Few endured it decades and some months. :(
