1 | Is marriage necessary? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 109791 | ||
Marriage is the sign of the committment. It is a Covenant oath by which a man and a woman committ their entire selves to one another, just as God committs Himself to us and we committ ourselves to Him. Interestingly, even in civil law a husband and wife in many ways become a single corporate entity like a corporation. "One body" so to speak for legal purposes. Now you might ask what is the difference between a Covenant and a contract. The difference is tha same as the difference between committment for life, for better or worse and a transaction between a man and a prostitute, a simple contract involving an anchanges of goods (money) for services (sex). In some ways sexual a relationship without the covenant of marriage is on an even lower level that an exchange with a prostitute. At least in that case there is a clear understanding of what is being exchanged, what each party's obligation is and how long the relationship will last. Kind of a sad commnentary on what has become a way of life in the world today don't you think? Emmaus |

Astute observations on marriage, Emmaus. Harsh perhaps, but that's the way it is; you mirror with accuracy and candor the bitter reality of a paper marriage devoid of committment. Superb post! --Hank | ||||||

Greetings my much respected friend! Speaking of marriage, I haven't been spending as much time at the Forum lately as usual, and there has been a really good reason for that. :-) I myself may lose my singleness to a beautiful young lady pretty soon! Blessings to you, Makarios |
