Question 59 0 out of 0 points Read the below Essay to answer the following three questions. Essay: Marriage is Sacred (1) Couples should understand that when they marry they are entering into the most sacred of institutions established by God; it is a Holy covenant, not to be taken lightly. In addition, it is the first covenant established between God and mankind. Until this day, it seals their relationship until death; therefore, the marriage covenant produces oneness that honors God, creating a binding contract in his eyes. (2) God wants marriage to reflect the church’s relationship with Jesus Christ because the church is the bride, preparing to meet the bridegroom. When couples develop intimacy with God, it also strengthens the marriage. Per Jennifer Baker of the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology, there is currently a 50% divorce rate in marriages in and outside of the church. This is evidence that couples no longer take their commitment and vows seriously, and it is almost impossible to honor vows without acknowledging the sacredness of the marriage contract. Consequently, the marriage covenant brings strength to relationships helping them to endure. (3) The covenant of marriage also protects the family unit. It is the vehicle that allows sexual expression not provided in other unions. The children born of couples, who are in covenant, reap the benefits of their parent’s faithfulness to each other and to God. These couples also insulate themselves and their families from the enemy that would destroy homes and ruin relationships. The odds of couples committed to covenant relations, committing adultery, divorcing or separating is not as great as those who are not committed. (4) The marriage covenant is the most import contract entered into by man. Dennis Rainey, a well known Christian minister, writes that “For the past two years I have had a growing concern that the Christian community has passively watched the 'dummying down' of the marriage covenant. Marriage has become little more than an upgraded social contract between two people-not a holy covenant between a man and a woman and their God for a lifetime.” Couples, who are in covenant marriages, provide stability for their families and communities; it has more impact on community than anyone could ever imagine because the covenant is the cornerstone for all relationships. (5) The scriptures are clear about marriage being holy in God’s sight; consequently, married couples must take their vows serious if the current trend in divorce, in and outside the church, is to change. Acknowledging this will greatly impact and reverse the current culture and views on marriage. Because God so loved us, he designed the sanctity of marriage for our protection from generation to generation. Answer True or False: I have read the above essay.
