For Better or for WorseIn modern society, the institution of marriage and its sustained longevity is a concept that has become one of the most great failures of society. While there used to be an abundance of married couples who celebrated consecutive decades of marriage, there now appear to be more couples who are divorced, never reaching the first year of marriage, let alone a single decade. Since God first blessed humanity with the gift of marriage, many have celebrated this joyful event, expressing love-based devotion and commitment emulating the unity found in the Father, Son and God. Holy Spirit. God spoke to men and women by giving them relationships. God's intention for marriage between a man and a woman is to enable both partners to live together throughout their lives. A man must leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, becoming one flesh and with this, let no one separate what God has joined together. Understanding what it means to be married from a biblical perspective and a current popular perspective is the epitome of light and darkness. Today, as some claim, the biblical understanding of marriage is through sexual intercourse. It is common for these to marry based on purely physical attraction, dominated by the physical sexual act, which alone does not provide the substance necessary to maintain a successful marriage. God gave sex to the married for the satisfaction and reproduction of the couple. He did not intend for this to be an act misused or misinterpreted to satisfy the desire of the flesh. God's intention for marriage went far beyond the physical; it was/is a junction of the natural/supernatural attributes of God and Jesus Christ, the center of the marital equation, therefore the neck...... middle of paper ......because I n I have not followed a Bible example given by God concerning his and the Church's point of view on the subject. I believe that divorce is a sin and a serious problem in this world, especially in this country. Divorce has become a convenience without regard to the spiritual complications it imposes. Currently married couples should research all possible options before entering into a final decree of divorce, because since adultery is grounds for divorce, remarriage could very well make one of them the very reason for divorce.BibliographyElwell, Walter A.
