Marriage: Contract or Covenant? Vocations, Unit 3

What is a contract? Teacher Notes: Invite the students to respond. Do not define contract at this point. Crackhunters.ca

What is a covenant? Teacher Notes: Invite the students to respond. Do not define covenant at this point. ©Shutterstock/iofoto

Can you name some characteristics of a contract? is binding for the time of the agreement and can be broken. is a basic time-limited guarantee that can be extended longer for more money. guarantees that you can return (or get a refund for) the product or service if it fails to deliver on expectations. is limited: you can trade for a new, improved model when contract expires and usefulness ends. is relative to your “investment”; the more you pay, the fancier or more powerful the “model” or the better the service. Can you think of others?

In contrast to a contract, a covenant . . . cannot be broken; has no “time limit” until death. is a sacred life relationship between two people. is open-ended; no guarantees! continues under all conditions: money or poverty, health or sickness, etc. is rooted in deep friendship and love, not in money or power. Can you think of others? Teacher Notes: Suggest the following: ● is a relationship of equals ● is a relationship of mutual honor and respect ● is a lifelong commitment that flows into family and community ● is a gift of God that enables a husband and wife to give themselves faithfully to each other every day of their lives

How is the covenant of Christian Marriage different from a contract? What evidence exists today that reveals too many marriages today are treated as contracts rather than covenants?  How is the covenant of Christian Marriage different from a contract? Teacher Notes: After each question, invite the students to respond.
