What does the Bible say about marriage?

Answered in 37 sources

The Bible presents marriage as a divine institution with specific responsibilities for husbands and wives, highlighting its significance as a picture of Christ and the church.

The Bible teaches that marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, meant to reflect the relationship between Christ and His church. In 1 Corinthians 7, the Apostle Paul outlines the responsibilities of both husbands and wives, urging them to render due benevolence to one another and to remain committed to their vows. Paul emphasizes that marriage carries responsibilities, and while it is a holy union, it is not a commandment, but rather a gracious privilege provided by God.
