A Treatise on the Understanding of Marriage: A Plea for the Necessity of Pre-Marital Counselling

Summary/Abstract: The Lord Jesus, answering a question from the Pharisees concerning divorce said concerning marriage: “Have ye not read, that He Who 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 two shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder” (Mt. 19:4ff). Thus, marriage is as old as creation itself, as old as the separation of the sexes: male and female. There was no other man for Adam to “marry;” there was no other woman on whom Eve could bestow her God-given affections. In one dynamic sentence the Lord Jesus ruled out homosexual unions of any kind (as well as human/”other” relationships which will naturally follow the legalization of homosexual “marriage” in the warped intentions of the Evil One!), as well as, the freedom to dissolve the Sacramental Union of Holy Matrimony for frivolous reasons! Therefore, it behooves every one of us who is contemplating marriage before God to “think it through” thoroughly before entering into this Sacramental relationship. We need to be like the King who counted his armies before going to battle and the builder who counted the cost before building his tower (Lk. 14:28ff), lest we begin to build and not finish, and what had been started and left unfinished become a mockery to us and to our lives in Christ.
