*COMMENTARY*
The sanctity of marriage is fast eluding our world. In our society, today, adultery, fornication, and sexual perversion are seen as normal in some quarters. Many years back, adultery was seen as taboo. Today, some call it having fun. Another evil that has bedeviled our society is divorce. Some couples don't care about how God feels and what happens to their children after divorce. Marriage is an institution of learning, where morals, godliness, and sexual purity are taught and exemplified.
Marriage is, "for better for worst". While officiating a wedding some years ago, I asked the would-be couple, to repeat after me, "for better for worst", the man said, for better for us". I insisted that he must repeat exactly what I said. He found it difficult to repeat after me; I insisted anyway. It is appalling, that today, divorce, adultery, and sexual perversion have become fanciful amongst Christian couples. These ill winds, that bequeath society no good, must be checked, especially in the church before they get out of hand.
Christian marriage is instituted for five reasons:
*(1) Completeness,* Adam was not complete until Eve came. A man is not complete without a woman in his life, and vice versa.
*(2) Companionship,* marriage is for companionship. Couples should be best of friends.
*(3) Procreation,* God instituted marriage also for procreation. He said, let everything have its kind.
*(4) Representation of the union between Christ and His Church,*
Christian marriage should take after the relationship between Christ and His church, and
*(5) Preserve sexual sanctity,* sexual perversion should.never be mentioned among Christian couples.
May the Lord remove the ill wind of divorce that is wreaking havoc in many homes, heal the church and restore sanctity, peace, love, andunity in many hurting homes, in Jesus' name.
