What Establishes a Marriage According to the Bible?

Even though marriage ceremonies today look a lot different from those in biblical times, the nature of what makes a marriage hasn’t changed.

Here are some common questions and helpful resources on marriage:

Does the Biblical View of Marriage Contain Multiple Definitions?

Polygamy in the Bible Is Not Prescriptive

Is Marriage a Social Construction?

Privatize Marriage?

[sergioortiz]

This is what I have been feeling in spirit. And this video confirms it. Same thing as tithing. I don’t give 10% to the church. Instead I use 10% of my income to buy food, jackets, tents, etc. for people in struggle!!!!

The Lord calls the tradition of man an abomination: abortion, divorce, fornication(same sex marriage) pride, paganism; man made holidays like Holloween. Which glorify people of the world and him in the world(Devil). In the beginning God made man and woman and what God put together no man can separate. Ask God for wisdom on this matter. Truth is God is in control.

This information checks out with what is written in the Word. Zero mental gymnastics, just what was in the word. Thank you.

Probably the most clear, concise, to the point, and above all, scripturally accurate video of how the God finds the marriage process to be accomplished. Thanks for the video!

When we speak of God putting people together it doesn't say RING or certificate... but God put it together, he ordained it and you entered into a covenant with God.

Jacob and Leah were married by action, not even by covenant. One could argue the same of Adam and Eve, or Abraham and Sara. Genesis very clearly states that the man shall cleave into his wife and the two shall become one flesh. Standing before a pastor doesn’t make you married anymore than standing before a magistrate. God clearly says that becoming one flesh, or laying with a woman constitutes marriage. This should make us all the more careful on saving ourselves for the right person. But we should also stop putting these things on couples that are not biblical. There’s not a single marriage ceremony anywhere in the Bible. Yet, there are countless examples of married couples. What defined those marriages? Sharing their tent or laying with.

It's the vows of commitment that forms the marriage bond, not some scrap of paper from City Hall.

This is such a good video, short and answers all my questions. Wonderful. God bless!

[FenixKibodeux]

Thank you I’ve been searching for references like the ones you gave. God bless

[Saints_ravenfortheRainbow]

I asked God for a sign with my partner and i, and my name and my partners name were called together at a store.
I love you God. Please save my family.

So therefore fornication is not what we think it is. Cause a lot of people say you're not married so you're in fornication and by that they mean, you need to sign papers so show youre married, but if you and your spouse vow before God and make that covenant, you're no longer single but married and therefore you're not fornicating.

[saimadisetty]

What therefore God has joined let no man seperate. One marriage one God one faith one baptism. Amen in Jesus name.❤

[newhaven]

Marriage between one man and one women is the awesome plan of God and we should fight anything that comes against the plans of God! Christians stand firm stay still in the plans of the living God!

[elizabethtaikong]

Thank you this video has help me alot God bless you in Jesus name amen

[zachkee]

I think institution is the wrong word. Institution by definition is societal or at least in some definitions it is. I think covenant is a better word and institution often leads to confusion because of the societal implications

[laladybluejeanbaby]

So technically there is nowhere in the Bible that says you to have to get married by a pastor, or in a church? I can’t think of any Bible verses that says so. So then a man and woman can just make a covenant of marriage with God and themselves. Otherwise I fear we may be relying on tradition and the law of men rather then God.
