Study Notes
Marriage Definition and Principles
- Marriage is defined religiously as the union of a matured man and woman in holy wedlock.
- It can take the form of a contract or a covenant, but it is not solely for procreation.
- Both marriage and Sabbath were instituted by God in Genesis, specifically Genesis 2:24 for marriage.
Characteristics of a Healthy Marriage
- A strong marriage foundation is characterized by happiness, love, sincerity, and goodwill.
- Four major functions of marriage include companionship, helpmeet, procreation, and friendship, with punishment being excluded.
- Readiness for marriage is assessed during the engagement and introduction stages.
Courtship and Relationship Stages
- Courtship involves an arranged social meeting; it is distinct from dating, which forms the initial stage of relationship development.
- Engagement signifies a commitment to marry and often does not involve family yet.
- Key factors to consider in courtship include compatibility and true love, while infatuation possesses characteristics like being headstrong and rash.
Types of Marriages
- Three main types of marriage: legal, traditional, and religious.
- Legal marriage involves a formal oath under the law; traditional marriage includes cultural customs; religious marriage is performed in places of worship.
- Each type has distinct characteristics—legal marriage is structured and often less costly, while traditional marriage aligns with cultural practices.
Marital Conflicts and Resolutions
- Marital conflicts can stem from several issues, such as monetary, love, sexual, religious, and in-law disputes.

- The proverb “Two cannot go together except they agree” emphasizes the importance of mutual agreement in relationships.
Additional Considerations
- Childless couples may need to explore options or strategies to enhance their family life.
