what is the Godly marriage relationship to you?

Answer 1

Two people who are in Christ and have a relationship with Him. To honor, respect and love the one you choose to marry. Most of all to trust and know what the bible says about how you are to respond to one another is very important, that the bible is the Lord's road map for both of you, to guide both of you through difficult times.

Answer 2

There are so many dimensions to marriage, especially a Godly one. First, it is best if both are follows of the Lord; and it also helps if they are part of the same church (2 Cor 6:14). Interfaith marriages are difficult to live in; a practical example is an Evangelical marrying a Sabbath-keeper; the husband and wife might be able to deal with going to church of different days, but will each be okay with their children going to church on the other day? Or, for who do not keep holidays such as Christmas, Easter, All Saint’s Day, etc., they would not want their children to be participating in holidays that they believe are not in glory to God. Worse if they are also keepers of God’s annual Festivals. Even if children are not in the picture, however, living in an interfaith marriage can be taxing. There is always going to be a part of that person that you would never be able to bond with, a life that you will never be able to share.

This may seem a bit cliché, but it is true that Christian couples who worship together (prayer, Bible study, or other such things) are closer to each other. This focus on God brings them closer to Him and to each other. If this is not possible, that is, your partner does not share the faith, don’t lose heart. Paul says that those in these relationships should not leave their spouses (1 Cor 7:13-14). And we should not lose hope that they might see the light and be converted (vs. 16).

One important part of every marriage is sex. Yes, sex. When we marry, we must acknowledge that our bodies are not our own; they now belong to the person we marry. Sex is an expression of the love and intimacy of marriage; a husband must not waive this responsibility to his wife; nor should a wife withhold this precious gift from her husband (1 Cor 7:3-5). As such, a couple should work to maintain this aspect of their lives; make it interesting, spontaneous, whatever it takes.

This are some key aspects to what I believe a Godly marriage is.

Answer 3

I believe a Godly marriage would first point to God, obviously! When people look at the relationship, they automatically see something different. I think that in order to have a Godly marriage, both the husband and wife need to base all their beliefs on the Word of life (the Bible)! Somewhere in the Bible, although I can't remember the exact passage, it says that wives are to submit to their husbands and husbands are to be willing to sacrifice their own lives for their partner - just as Christ sacrificed His life for us! Husbands need to have their wives best interest in mind, and wives need to trust their husbands completely! Both the husband and wife need to be wholly committed to growing in their relationship with Christ as well as with each other! They are to be in constant prayer and should always communicate with each other - they shouldn't hide anything! Anyways, I hope this helped! :)

Answer 4

The vows are said between two people, not two people and God, and they make a promise to each other, not to god!! A marriage in a registry office is just as valid as a marriage in church. There is no god in my relationship, my relationship involves just me and my b/f (soon to be husband) and our promises to each other.

Answer 5

I agree with the post before mine..it depends on which God your referring to. I think in general it refers to a romantic relationship centered around spirituality.
