Purpose of Marriage, Covenantal Relationships.



The purpose of marriage is to spiritually, emotionally and physically unite a man and a women together, as husband and wife, in a covenantal relationship between themselves and their Creator.

Marriage is one of the most important commitments that someone can make during their lifetime. If you are considering making such a commitment, it is important to think about the type of commitment that you will be making with the person you plan to marry. If you are already married, you may find it helpful to reflect on the commitment that you have already made to your spouse.

A marriage covenant is a commitment made in the presence of God, and is valid until death. It is a commitment that is irrevocable and does not depend on the performance of either spouse

A marriage contract is a commitment made in the presence of a legal authority, and is valid until the contract is broken. It is a commitment that is kept until one spouse, or both, fails to perform according to the contract

Marriage is a covenantal relationship between husband, wife and the Creator.


It is a commitment that is irrevocable and does not depend on the performance of either spouse. Therefore, if the relationship between husband and wife becomes weak...
then the spouses' relationships with God can stabilize the marriage until the husband and wife are reconciled.

Covenantal marriage spiritually, emotionally and physically unites a man and women together as husband and wife.


When the spouses' spiritual, emotional and physical relationships with each other are all strong, and each spouse's relationship with God is strong, the marriage is strong and balanced.

This is absolutely the purpose of Marriage. The basics that we must know for us to be constantly reminded of the covenantal relationship between us and GOD.
A commitment that is irrevocable and does not depend on the performance of either spouse. And is valid until death. This is a challenge to all of us.
