Marriage is an exclusive commitment of one man and woman to each other in a life-long relationship.
It’s not a ceremony but a state of being; it’s a life-long commitment to be developed as well as maintained. It is a refining process calling for each party to die to himself or herself in order to live for the other.
Every good institution is founded on solid principle just like a house built upon a rock. If any house will stand firmly against rainstorms, it surely depends on the kind of FOUNDATION laid.
Jesus said in Matthew. 7:24-27 that; if you hear my word and put it to practice then you are really building your ‘house of faith’ on him.
The Bible has set principles on which to build marital relationship. Good foundation ensures that it withstands storms of life and Jesus is that sure foundation. Gen. 2:24, 25; Matt. 19:5, Mark 10:7, Eph. 5:31 provide the necessary facilities that must go into this foundation.
The stability of the family is dependent upon the solid foundations of the marriage covenant. The covenant nature of the marriage relationship provides permanence in this age of growing instability.
