What does the Bible say about arranged marriages?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reflects on arranged marriages through examples like Isaac and Rebekah, highlighting God's sovereignty in choosing spouses.

The custom of arranged marriages is prevalent in many cultures and is seen in biblical narratives. In Genesis 24, we see Abraham sending his servant to find a wife for Isaac, demonstrating God's providence in the marriage process. This contrasts with modern notions of individual choice, which often lead to high divorce rates. The scriptural examples suggest that God's sovereignty governs marriage decisions, aligning with the idea that God ordains relationships for His glory and purpose.
