And again it is written, “House and riches are the inheritance of fathers: And a prudent wife is from the Lord”. (Proverbs 19:14) The marriage amongst a man and a woman is a joyous event as it is written in the word of God, “For as young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee”. (Isaiah 62:5) And again it is said, “Let thy fountain be blessed: And rejoice with the wife of thy youth”. (Proverbs 5:18) Then again it is said, “Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity:  for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun”. (Ecclesiastes 9:9) How Isaac son of Abraham was comforted and rejoiceth over his wife Rebecca? It is written thus, “And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and took Rebecca, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death”. (Genesis 24:67) A godly marriage shapes our view of beauty to focus on internal qualities. Although beauty is wonderful, it isn't the only—or even the highest—value when we seek Christian marriage. You'll get a picture of marriage as God intends it to be. And, you'll enjoy its focus on vital issues like money, forgiveness, communication, sex, and your spiritual life together.

Christians may only marry Christians. It is written in the word of God, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people." (2-Corinthians 6:14-16) In God's sight it is a travesty for a godly person and an ungodly one to be united in holy matrimony to be one flesh. How they become when one serves God, holiness and righteousness, while the other serves sin and Satan. How can these who are so different form  a true partnership  and have fellowship? Christian ministers of the Gospel ought not to perform mixed marriages.

Generally a Christian boy should choose a Christian girl of mature character with similar background, tastes, education, religion and interests, a little younger than himself. The Christian girl accepts the proposal from a man who is of the same religion, background, education, likes and dislikes, who is a gentleman at all time

In the beginning the Lord God made them male and female (a man and a woman) and joined them together and called them wife and husband. In the beginning the Lord God created Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve or Mary and Eve. It is written in the word of God, “In the day that created man, in the likeness of God made He him; male and female created He them; and blessed them…”. (Genesis 5:1-2) And again it is written, “Jesus answered and said, “Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder”. (Matthew 19:4-6) The marriage between male with male or female with female is detestable to God. The Lord God said, “Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination”. (Leviticus 18:22) In the word of God the Lord God Almighty   condemned and judged for these abominations and said thus, “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the women, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters,  haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventers of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affections, implacable, unmerciful: who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them". (Romans 1:26-32) 

 1. To obey the command of God. And God blessed them to be fruitful and to multiply and replenishing the earth and to subdue it and that he might seek a godly offspring. The Lord Almighty God sets the lonely in families. In the beginning we read that God blessed Adam and eve to bear fruit. It is written thus, “So God created man in His own mage, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. And God blessed them and God said unto them; Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:  and have dominion over the fish of the Sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. (Genesis 1:27-28) It is written in the Psalms, “Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord; And the fruit of the womb is His reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with enemies in the gate”.( Psalms 127:3-5)

 2. For fellowship: "And the Lord God said, it is not good that the mans should be alone". (Genesis 2:18) The exception  seems to be the pioneer  missionary like the apostle Paul in which 1-Corinthians 7:32 is true. "I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn." (1-Corinthians 7:8-9) And it is said, "But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord: but he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife." (1-Corinthians 7:32-33)

 3. For partnership. It is written in the word of God, "Two are better than one;  because they have good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? (Ecclesiastes 4:9-11) It is said, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." (Genesis 2:24)

 4. To satisfy biological desires. Man is born with certain desires that are good, holy and legitimate but can only be satisfied in marriage. Therefore it is written in the word of God, "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband...for it is better to marry than to burn." (1-Corinthians 7:2; 9)

 5. For the propagation of the human race. "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: (Genesis 1:28) And again it is written, "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth." (Genesis 9:1)   

The practice of having more wives than one at the same time is condemned in the Holy Bible: It is written in the Book of Law, “He must not take many wives, or his heart will be led astray (Deuteronomy 17:17) Then again it is written in the word of God, “And did not He make one? Yet had He the residue of the spirit. And wherefore one? (Malachi 2:15) He created one man and one woman and joined them together to be husband and wife. In the New Testament it is written thus, “Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband”. (1Corithians 7:2) Again it is said, “A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife…Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well”. (1-Timothy 3:2, 12) And again it is said, “For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: if any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly”. (Titus 1:5-6) So we see that how God the Almighty Lord, is desired a marriage amongst one man and one woman. There must not be polygamy.  

The Lord God Almighty hates divorce and it is detestable practice in God's sight. For the Lord, the God of Israel said, “I hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit that ye deal not treacherously”. (Malachi 2:16) In the New Testament the Lord Jesus Christ said, “It hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement: but I say unto you, “That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery”. (Matthew 5:31-32) And again He said, “Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, “For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder… And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her      which is put away doth committeth adultery”. (Matthew 19:4-6, 9,10)  

Modern idealistic human liberty vision within spouses is a great reason of unsuccessful miserable marriage's life. Both husband and wife are belonging to each other. The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. Whoever would love life and see happy marriage's life it can be only possible to live according to the word of God. The Lord our God has given a Law and decree that will not pass away. In the word of God it is written, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For husband is head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the Church: and He is the Saviour of the body. Therefore as the Church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, and gave Himself for it…so ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the Church: for we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church. Nevertheless, let everyone of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband”. (Ephesians 5:22-25; 28-33)Again it is said, “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them”. (Colossians 3:1819) What a blessing and great reward is in keeping the word of God that if they obey and serve him, they will spend the days of their marriage life in prosperity. It is written thus, “Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered”. (1-Peter 3:1-7)

While physical pleasure is good and acceptable, sex also speaks of spiritual realities far more profound. Sex cannot pay spiritual dividends if its currency is shrouded in unfounded guilt. Gratitude to God for this amazing experience is essential. The deeply physical and fleshly experience of sex can be enjoyed without guilt, but there is an even deeper spiritual fulfillment when a man and woman engage in sexual relations. Don't reduce sex to either a physical or spiritual experience. It is both—profoundly so, In the last, “Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled:  but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge”. (Hebrews 13:4) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour, not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: that no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us His Holy Spirit”. (1-Thessalonians 4:3-8)
