Marriage is a relationship designed and ordained by God, and its significance is emphasized repeatedly in Scripture. In light of the biblical truths surrounding marriage, it is essential that the church take seriously its participation in a marriage, as well as its responsibility in preparation. God, in His wisdom, chose the marriage relationship as the example to relate insights about the relationship between Christ and his bride, the Church. Just as the Church has a high calling as the Bride of Christ so does a man and woman in preparation for the marriage covenant.
Covenant can be defined as a solemn, binding agreement that reflects the moral nature of God. The marriage covenant is taken between God, a man, and a woman. Our calling is to reflect Christ in our lives. Marriage is the next strongest reflection of Christ to the world, furthermore, in a Christian marriage the scripture teaches that a healthy marriage, in time, will reflect that.
Who can marry at WCC?
