MARRIAGE DYNAMICS (Vol. 6)
Mystery about Marriage
The postmodern society has wandered away from the original intentions and expectations of God for marriage. Instead, it has developed its own philosophies, principles, and doctrines of marriage based on human speculations and reasoning. Marriage is not a contract; it is a covenant.
Marriage in the contemporary culture is no more based on the revelation of the Word of God but on human traditions and speculations. Marriage is now considered as a personal and private transaction between two people. Marriage is not a contract; it is a covenant.
A marriage which began as a spiritual and covenantal relationship is now going through changes. The entrance of sin has redefined and deconstructed the meaning, purpose, and nature of marriage. Marriage has become distorted, perverted, and polluted. Marriage is not a contract; it is a covenant.
In other words, marriage has lost its original meaning, purpose, intention, and nature. Marriage has become compromised and adapted to the sociocultural norms of the day. One can say that marriage is evolving from being good to being bad. Marriage is not a contract; it is a covenant.
The meaning you give to marriage will determine the manner of your marriage. What you know about marriage will characterize how your marriage will be known. Knowledge is very crucial in life. It is called power. It is the power behind actions. It is the foundation for conviction. It is the source of motivation and inspiration. What you know will determine how you are known.
