THE MARRIAGE TIE

Marriage is a divine institution which God Himself has instituted. Gen. 2:18, 24. "And the Lord God said, It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh." 1Cor. 11:9. "Neither was the man created for the woman, but the woman for the man."

God commended it. Gen. 2:18 and Prov. 18:22. "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favor of the Lord."

God is in it. Matt. 19:4, 6. "And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female. Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together let not man put asunder."

It is honorable in all. Heb. 13:4. "Marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled, but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."

Christ attended a wedding in Canaan. He went to adorn it, to beautify it with His presence. John 2:1,2. "And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. And both Jesus was called and His disciples to the marriage."

The forbidding to marry is the doctrine of devils. 1Tim. 4:1,3. "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils; * * * forbidding to marry."

Marriage Binding for Life

God has approved of but one wife and one husband. Gen. 2:24. "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh." Matt. 19:3-6. "The Pharisees also came unto Him tempting Him, and saying unto Him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

The husband and wife are bound together for life. Rom. 7:2. "For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband is dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband." 1 Cor. 7:39. The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord."

No court of man should sever the marriage tie. Matt. 19:6. "Wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together let not man put asunder.
