Episode 17 | What is the purpose of marriage?
If you were to ask people what the purpose of marriage is, what response would you get? What do you think the purpose of marriage is? In this episode of the Homeschool Mom Podcast, we are looking into Scripture and discussing three purposes of marriage.
- Marriage is designed by God to be a picture of the relationship between Christ and His bride, the church.
- Ephesians 5:22-29
- Your marriage should bring glory to God.
- Isaiah 43:7
- Colossians 3:17
- 1 Corinthians 10:31
- God uses your marriage to make you more holy.
- Romans 8:28-29
The more we pursue holiness, the better our marriages display a picture of Christ and His bride, the church.
The more we pursue holiness, the better we can glorify God in our marriages.
The more we pursue holiness, the more we enjoy the blessings and fruit of a Christ-centered marriage.
