Lesson 2: God’s Purpose in Marriage The Family & the Home Lesson 2: God’s Purpose in Marriage

What Is Marriage? (review) Divine in origin – “what God has joined together…” (Mt. 19:6; see also Prov. 18:22) United in construction – “Bone of my bones … leave … cleave … one flesh” (Gen. 2:23-24) Monogamous & heterosexual in form – “a man … his wife” (Gen. 2:24)

What Is Marriage? (review) Indissoluble in nature – “let not man put asunder” (Mt. 19:6; see also Mal. 2:16; 1 Cor. 7:39; Rom. 7:2) Multiple in purpose – “a help meet for him” (Gen. 2:18, 20) “become one flesh” (Gen. 2:24) “be fruitful and multiply…” (Gen. 1:28)

The Biblical Family is in Decline The Biblical family, as God designed it (Gen. 2:18-25), is in decline due to… More divorces (1940’s-50’s) More singles relationships opposed to “traditional” marriage and family (1960’s-70’s) More homosexual relationships (1980’s-90’s) More bio-tech relationships (21st century)

The Biblical Family is in Decline http://www.prb.org/Publications/Articles/2003/TraditionalFamiliesAccountforOnly7PercentofUSHouseholds.aspx

God’s Purpose in Marriage Marriage is for… 1. Companionship (Gen. 2:18-23; 1 Pet. 3:7) 2. Fulfillment of sexual desire (Gen. 2:24; Prov. 5:15-19; 1 Cor. 7:1-5, 9; Heb. 13:4) 3. To have and raise children (Gen. 1:28; 9:1; Psa. 127:3; 128:1ff; Prov. 22:6; Eph. 6:1-4; 1 Tim. 3:4; 5:14; Tit. 2:4-5)

Fulfillment of Sexual Desire Proverbs 5 1 Corinthians 7 The wrong place: fornication 5:1-14, 20-23 (see also Prov. 2, 7, 9) The wrong place: fornication 7:1-2 (see also Gal. 5:19) The right place: marriage 5:14-20 The right place: marriage 7:3-5, 9

Wrong Reasons for Marriage Marrying for the wrong reasons often leads to a marriage that will not last… Marrying because it’s a common practice Marrying because of a “fall in love” fantasy or lust; unrealistic idea of marriage Marrying because you are pregnant Marrying for money, fame, prestige, etc. Marrying to get away from an unhappy life Marrying for spite
