Is marriage sacred?

Answer 1

Yes,

Jesus is the Bridegroom of the Church!

he died for them!

It is a symbolic commitment, not as light as most Americans take it

Answer 2

Most people today claim that they believe in the sanctity of marriage, but more important is how does God view the marital arrangement? The answer is found in his Word, the Bible, at Hebrews 13:4: “Let marriage be honorable among all.” The Greek word translated “honorable” carries the thought of something that is precious and highly esteemed. When we value something, we take care to preserve it and not to lose it, even accidentally. The same should be true of the marriage arrangement. Christians are to view it as honorable—as something precious that they want to protect

Why, then, do so many unions end in divorce? For some, marriage is little more than a romantic promise and a legal agreement. But promises can be broken. People who view marriage this way find it quite easy to give up on their marriage when things go wrong. Having a casual view of marriage is what leads to so many divorces.

Answer 3

There is no question about that. Truly, marriage is sacred. It is ordained by God and protected by the law of the land. For a man and a woman who are united in marriage shall become one. There is no other institution more sacred and blessed than marriage.

Answer 4

Yes it is very sacred. Many today do not take the vows of marriage seriously and that is why there is so much divorce in the world

Answer 5

yes, it is an institution designed by God for a man and a women. It is meant to be the starting point of building a family. It is not something you enter into lightly or leave on a whim. It is a very sacred bond between and husband and a wife and God.

Answer 6

Marriage is not sacred. Love, respect, understanding are sacred. Marriage has no value if you don't have these things.

Answer 7

Not anymore.

Even as a non-Christian i feel that the bond that needs to be there when two people want to be together is disregarded in favor of more base motives. Money, looks, hedonism, all come before feelings and love anymore.

Most marraige is a farce anymore IMO.

Answer 8

Yes, it is a covenant between a man and a woman made before God.

Matthew 19:3 The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? 4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5 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? 6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. 7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? 8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. 9 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 commit adultery.

Hebrews 13:4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

Answer 9

Next to your relationship with Jesus Christ, it should be the most sacred commitment you make in your life.

Answer 10

That depends on your personal beliefs, and if applicable, religion. In my opinion, it is just a legal document that is signed to prove that you have commited yourself to living with another person. Others may disagree, but your question was asking for an opinion, not a fact.
