The Bible places marriage and family among its more prominent themes. God is described as Father, Jesus as Son, and the church as His Bride. Rather than choosing many individuals to bring His message to the world, God chose Abraham’s family. While Jesus’ teachings explain that one’s own faith and practice are more important than one’s lineage, marriage and family are used as examples and symbols throughout.
How does the Bible define marriage? What is marriage in God's eyes? Is it okay for people to have sex before they're married? These questions are not only important, but they're increasingly relevant as people, young and old, revisit their ideas about relationships.
