Transitioning to MarriageTHE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE
Marriage is not merely a legal or formal union but a sacred covenant between two individuals, established by God. Historically—and in many jurisdictions—this covenant has been understood as the union between a man and a woman.
Key Verse:
Mark 10:6–9 (NKJV)
6 But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female.
7 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife,
8 and the two shall become one flesh”; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.
THE NATURE OF A BIBLICAL MARRIAGE
A biblical marriage is a God-ordained institution—a divine covenant—not merely a government contract or a cultural arrangement. Its nature remains constant even though ceremonies may change over time.
Key Verse:
Genesis 2:18–24 (NKJV)
18 And the LORD God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
19 Now out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name.
20 So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him.
21 Then the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.
22 And the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23 Then Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman,” because she was taken out of Man.
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

- Embracing a New Creation in Christ:
2 Corinthians 5:17 (NKJV):
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” - Purpose of Godly Relationships:
Emphasize that dating and courtship are meant to honor God and pursue holiness.
- Purity and Holiness:
1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 (NKJV):
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.” - Commitment in Love:
Song of Solomon 8:6-7 (NKJV):
“Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm;
For love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame.
Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the floods drown it.” - God’s Love as Our Model:
1 John 4:9-11 (NKJV):
“In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”
- Establishing Boundaries:
- Fleeing Temptation and Pursuing Godliness:
2 Timothy 2:22 (NKJV):
“Flee also youthful lusts, and pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” - Guarding Against Sexual Immorality:
1 Corinthians 6:18 (NKJV):
“Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who sins sexually, sins against his own body.”
- Fleeing Temptation and Pursuing Godliness:
- Accountability & Avoiding Temptation:
1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV):
“There has not been any temptation that is not common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.” - Communication and Mutual Growth:
Philippians 2:3-4 (NKJV):
“Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” - Go to church together
- Pray together
- Read your bible together

CHARACTERISTICS OF A BIBLICAL MARRIAGE
- FAITHFULNESS
A biblical marriage is built on unwavering faithfulness and sacrificial love.
- 1 Cor 13:4-7
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. - Proverbs 3:3–4 (NKJV)
Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, So that you will find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man.
2 Corinthians 6:14
14 Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what [communion has light with darkness?
