Marriage: A Covenant, Not a Contract

This topic explores the profound distinction between viewing marriage as a sacred covenant versus a mere contract. A contract is based on legal obligations, mutual benefits, and can be voided when conditions are unmet. In contrast, a covenant is a sacred promise, rooted in love, faith, and a lifelong commitment to honor God and each other. It emphasizes unity, sacrifice, and unconditional support, reflecting God’s covenantal love for humanity. By understanding marriage as a covenant, couples can foster deeper trust, spiritual connection, and resilience, even in the face of challenges. This discussion provides insights on how to nurture such a relationship, drawing wisdom from biblical principles and practical applications for modern life.
