Curious question about the bible?

Question

Why does the bible say we have to be married to the same person forever and why is it important to have children with the person you are married to?

Answer 1

There are so many children born without marriage in this world. That is so bad for the children and a sin, to have sex outside of wedlock. Some children will never know who their father's are, that is so sad. They will question it someday.
There are so many divorces over small things, because it is so easy and they think the grass is greener in another pasture, how wrong and a sin. You are to be committed to each other through good and bad, sickness and health, till death do you part. Remember those vows and they are still used and not just in the old times.
Jusr remember the vows and the 10 commandments all all will be fine.......xx

Answer 2

If the plan God has for the us to be married by is not done in the way it should be, there will always be problems in that marriage. There will be hurt, resentment, jealously, somewhere in the marriage, weather its on the parts of the spouses themselves or the children involved.There is a higher divorce rate now then there ever has been, because marriage is taken so lightly and divorce is so easy. Alot of people are not aware that Marriage is a contract not only between the two getting married but a contract with God himself, all of the vows taken are promises not only to that person but also a promise to God himself.

Answer 3

To start with, you are controlling your life according to what is biblical, and you can't do that if you want to remain sane. You should make the bible a reference guide to use along with many other such guides as well as good common sense.

If your marriage is a living hell and there is no hope of salvaging it, then divorce is the way to go, for the sake of both parties. Not sure how to interpret the children question, but having children is not the primary reason for marriage and should be done only if that's what both parties want to do.

Answer 4

The economic and spiritual significance of unconditional commitent to our relationships involves loving others, creating a successful and cohesive community context, and weaving comples webs of love and support for each other.

If this seems oppressive because it offends anyone's freedoms (which denotes selfishness, distinct from ordered liberties) I would highly recommend they do what they do to justify atheism - look at the science. Study after study after study has found that long-term stability and the presence of two parents, one with a female personalitya nd one with a male personality, results in the best life outcome for children, by far. If science is your end-all-be-all, you'd be hard pressed to selectively ignore data on this, yes?

Answer 5

Because it is ones choice to Marry ,and Who one Marries and marriage in Gods eyes is meant forever, Because having children with the one who is you one true love and raising them with Gods wisdom of words, cant get any better, For all this is a Gift from God, When God is not in Ones choices then one makes the wrong choices and all ways will until they figure Out why? Their are not being lead by Gods wisdom of words, And letting Him guide them instead of being lead like a blind man, All good things are from God. And knowing the difference between Lust and Love will save you and your children heart ache

Answer 6

The Bible says no such thing.

Jesus states that the only legitimate excuse for divorce is if there was sexual immorality involved, and he was speaking to the Jews who were under the law.

The apostle Paul wrote that one was not bound to an unbelieving mate who left or was hostile or abusive, etc.

Children are described as a blessing, but there is no command to have children.

Maybe you would be well served if you quit listening to what others say the Bible says and read it for yourself.

Answer 7

Because, at the time when this stuff was written, women and children were entirely dependent on their husbands or other male relatives for their livelihood. Marriage was also a big part of the property and social stability of the community.

Without a man for food, shelter, protection, etc. women and children were at the mercy of anyone who could rob or rape or abuse them. Or they would be forced to beg or go into prostitution just to live. Those were just the realities of those times.

The commands were to ensure that people were taken care of and that the community would not plunge into chaos.

Answer 8

Perhaps those claiming to be espoused to His Grace,
then later found whoring with Law is spiritual Adult-ery.

Eg: the impotent man healed by seven grace us words,
rather than being helped into troubled water of the law,
is later found in the law temple giving praise to the law,
and is then told: sin(law) no more, and is given reason:
lest latter end, state of man, be worse: state of emergency.

Hmmm, isn't this the state of many in news today:
a state of emergency, declared by state officials?

California Burning: state of emergency.
Great Drought in SE: state of emergency.
World wide tour: many states of emergency.
Could there be a connection to GWB rule of law going ww?
Second Coming speech of GWB? Make rule of law global!

Answer 9

Other than the quote "be fruit full and multiply" I don't know any biblical injunction to have children.

But marriage for life is in the Bible.

Answer 10

It does say that you can divorse but to be with someone divorsed is to commit adultry. To have children is to plentify the earth like God wanted us to do in the begining. Be plentiful and multiply.
