Purpose Partners Global Ministries continued from page 5 On the contrary, courtship is a relationship between a man and a woman who desire to make a lifetime commitment to Holy Matrimony. Both parties are mature, diligently seeking to honor God, maintain sexual purity, and respect the set boundaries of the relationship. Courting Couples are accountable to their parents, mentors, and spiritual leaders. During courtship, the couple continues to seek God’s directives and learn from each other. However, in this trial-like version of Marriage, the couple may conclude irreconcilable differences and terminate their Courtship before advancing to Marriage…
Marriage is a covenant established by God between a man and a woman who have
to leave their parents and cleave to each other. In marriage, an institution established by God, couples should operate under the covenant guidelines according to scriptures to reap the full benefits that a healthy marriage could provide. The idea of Marriage was ordained to mirror the relationship that exists between Christ (The Bridegroom) and the church (The Bride). Christ loved the church and gave himself for the church. Like manner, as one of the basic principles established in the scriptures to keep marriages working. The duties of husbands are to love their wives as Christ loved the church and the duty of Wives is to submit to her own husbands as unto the Lord (Ephesians 5:22-25)
