Study Notes

Marriage and Relationships

  • Some people marry to realize an image or ideal they have in their minds, down to the minute details, while others marry for the wrong reasons, such as to legitimize sex or to compensate for perceived faults.
  • Marrying for the wrong reasons can set marriage in the wrong direction and lead to problems.
  • In some cultures, marriage is under attack, and this can lead to young people being unsure about marriage and having doubts about its success.
  • The family is under attack in many cultures, with influences such as the Playboy philosophy, gay and lesbian agendas, and entertainment mediums making fun of marriage.
  • This can lead to a lack of hope for marriage and a sense of uncertainty about its success.

Biblical Perspective on Marriage

  • From a biblical perspective, marriage is not just about sex, but about self-control and unity.
  • God's design for marriage is for husband and wife to become one flesh, leaving their families and cleaving to each other.
  • Marriage is a public declaration of loyalty and companionship that is permanent.
  • The husband-wife relationship is supposed to be the primary focus, with children being secondary and eventually leaving the home.

Counseling and Biblical Guidance

  • Biblical and pastoral counseling can provide lasting answers to marriage problems.
  • A biblical perspective can help transform lives and re-instill hope in marriages.
  • Counselors can help couples assess and analyze their problems, promote and permanentize solutions, and eventually terminate counseling when the couple is handling things in a biblical way.

Financial Unity in Marriage

  • Becoming one in marriage means viewing finances as a joint effort, not separate entities.
  • A budget can be an expression of good marital unity, not a source of conflict.
  • Working out a budget together can unify a marriage and reflect a couple's unity.
