ᒪᕐᒃ 10:9

Whenever someone asks us if we believe in premarital sex we respond by saying “yes and no.” It’s a confusing answer at first, but it gives us an opportunity to make an important point. God affirms our sexuality as human beings and we ­can’t suddenly become asexual. For this reason, we believe in premarital sexuality. We are quick to follow up, however, by saying that having genital sex before marriage is clearly not in line with God’s principles. 

In this Life.Church Bible Plan, six couples write about six wedding vows they never officially said at the altar. These vows of preparation, priority, pursuit, partnership, purity, and prayer are the vows that make marriages work long past the wedding. Whether you’re married or just thinking about it, it’s time to make the vow.  

Most of us know marriage won’t always be a honeymoon, but no one plans for a marriage crisis. Sadly, deep wounds, affairs, addiction, and divorce threaten so many marriages. But there’s good news: no matter what crisis you face, there’s still hope in Christ. Want more of that? Start this hope-filled Bible Plan by finds.life.church.

Интересно, что многие из нас не понимают природу столь неотъемлемого института для человеческого общества, как брак. В результате мы либо обожествляем его, воспринимая как таинство. Либо же наоборот принижаем его смысл, сводя его к контракту или договору. Правильное же понимание природы брака освобождает от стресса и переживаний неверных, а порой и ложных ожиданий от брака.
