Elegant Cake Topper/Table or Gift Decor “And Two Became One”

In the Bible, God's perspective on marriage is foundational and deeply significant. key aspects of God's view on marriage as portrayed in the Scriptures:

1. **Instituted by God**: Marriage is not merely a social or cultural construct but an institution established by God Himself. In Genesis 2:24, it is stated, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." This verse underscores God's intention for marriage to be a lifelong union between one man and one woman, characterized by unity and intimacy.

2. **Covenant Relationship**: Marriage is described as a covenant relationship in Malachi 2:14, where God emphasizes the sacredness of marriage and condemns marital unfaithfulness. The covenant aspect of marriage reflects God's faithfulness and commitment to His people, mirroring the commitment spouses are to have towards each other.

3. **Reflecting God's Love**: Ephesians 5:22-33 portrays marriage as a reflection of Christ's relationship with the church. Husbands are called to love their wives sacrificially, as Christ loves the church, and wives are called to respect their husbands. This passage highlights the mutual submission and selflessness that should characterize marital relationships, mirroring the love and grace of God towards His people.

4. **Unity and Companionship**: Marriage is intended to provide companionship and support. Genesis 2:18 states, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him." God created Eve as a suitable companion for Adam, emphasizing the importance of partnership and mutual support within marriage.

5. **Fruitfulness**: One of the purposes of marriage is procreation and the raising of children in a loving and nurturing environment. Psalm 127:3-5 speaks of children as a gift from the Lord and emphasizes the importance of family within God's design for humanity.

6. **Protection and Honor**: Marriage is also a context where spouses are to protect and honor one another. 1 Corinthians 7:3-5 instructs husbands and wives to fulfill each other's sexual needs and to treat each other with respect and dignity.

“The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.”

Throughout the Bible, marriage is portrayed as a sacred and foundational institution established by God for the flourishing of individuals, families, and society as a whole. It serves as a reflection of God's love, faithfulness, and desire for unity and companionship among His people.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
