Marriage Contract
When it comes to marriage, if you let the Lord guide you, He will help you to choose a partner who will be an honor and credit to God, and a blessing to you through your whole life.
God has written the marriage contract, and it is binding for life. Jesus asked the people:
“Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
“And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? “Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” (Matthew 19: 4-6).
Matrimonial bonds are sacred, and only one thing can sever the tie—death.
When two people are married, they are married for life. They have become one body, one flesh. They are married for as long as they both shall live. When one dies, the other partner is free to remarry. But so long as they both live – though they separate or even are divorced – they are, in the eyes of God, still married to their first partner.
“The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 7:39).
