“LOVE Binds Everything Together in Perfect Harmony”

Colossians 3:14

Putting on love, as described in Colossians, means making love a daily choice, a conscious decision we make in every interaction and situation. It's about letting love guide our thoughts, words, and actions. This kind of love is not just an emotion; it is an action, and a way of being that reflects the heart of God.

“REJOICE Always, PRAY Continually, GIVE THANKS in All Circumstances”

1 Thessalonians 5:16:18

This verse is a reminder to cultivate joy and gratitude by continually communicating with God and with each other, especially during difficult times. This involves choosing to be joyful in their relationship, maintaining constant prayer both individually and together, and offering thanks for one another and for the marriage itself, even amidst conflicts and challenges. This practice builds resilience, deepens their faith, and strengthens their bond as a couple. 

“No Longer Two but One”

Mark 10:8

This verse means that a married couple becomes a single, unified entity, not just legally or emotionally, but holistically. The verse is rooted in God's original plan for marriage, emphasizing its permanence, exclusivity, and the deep, inseparable bond created by the union. The phrase implies a merging of lives, hearts, and futures into one shared existence, with physical, emotional, and spiritual unity. 

“And the TWO Shall Become ONE”

Ephesians 5:31

“The two shall become one flesh” from Ephesians 5:31 signifies a profound and total union in marriage that includes the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of a couple. This "one flesh" union is meant to be the strongest human relationship, built on a commitment to leaving one's parents' home to form a new, indivisible family unit with their spouse, and to be deeply devoted to one another. It represents a sacred bond of intimacy, faithfulness, and mutual love, mirroring the relationship between Christ and the church.

“I have found THE  ONE Whom my Soul Loves”

Song of Solomon 3:4

"I have found the one whom my soul loves," signifies finding a spouse with whom one shares a deep, spiritual connection that goes beyond mere attraction. In marriage, it represents the joy and fulfillment of discovering a partner who is a perfect match on a fundamental, spiritual level, as expressed through a commitment to protect and cherish the relationship. 

“A Cord of Three Strands Is Not Easily Broken”

Ecclesiastes 4:12

A marriage is strongest when God is the third strand, woven together with the husband and wife. This three-stranded cord represents a union with God at its center, which makes it resilient against life's difficulties and creates a more enduring, stable partnership than one with only two strands. 

“As the Bridegroom Rejoices over the Bride So Shall Your God Rejoice over You”

Isaiah 62:5

This comparison shows us that the true relationship between husband and wife is as holy, pure and wonderful as the true relationship between God and His people.

“However, Each One of You also Must Love his Wife as He Loves Himself, And the Wife Must Respect her Husband.”

Ephesians 5:33

A husband's sacrificial and selfless love for his wife is modeled after Christ's love for the church, and a wife's deep respect and honor for her husband is to mirror the church's submission to Christ. This verse calls for both partners to commit to their complementary roles in a way that reflects a divine order and honors the marriage covenant. This involves a continuous effort to love and respect each other, even when it is challenging. 

“My Beloved is Mine and I Am His”

Song of Solomon 2:16

This verse describes the self-giving love and complete belonging between a husband and wife, where both joyfully claim each other while also freely offering themselves to one another. The verse is often interpreted as a model for biblical marriage, reflecting the idea of two becoming "one flesh" and a deeper spiritual bond based on a covenant of faithfulness. 

“Be Devoted to One Another in Love. Honor one another Above yourselves.”

Romans 12:10

Marriage partners should actively prioritize each other's needs, well-being, and value above their own. This verse calls for a selfless, humble, and devoted love that goes beyond mere affection, creating a supportive and respectful partnership where each spouse esteems the other as precious. 

So They Are No Longer Two but One Flesh. Therefore, What God has Joined Together Let No One Separate.

Matthew 16:9

Marriage is a sacred, lifelong union created by God, and it should be respected as such. It explains that when a couple marries, they are no longer two separate individuals but become a single, unified entity—one flesh. Therefore, a married couple's bond is a divine one, meant to be permanent. 

“Let All that You Do Be Done in LOVE”

1 Corinthians 16:24

All actions, especially in marriage, should be motivated by unconditional, sacrificial love rather than selfishness, anger, or control. This involves consistently choosing to be patient, kind, and respectful; actively supporting and protecting your spouse; and making decisions based on mutual goodwill, even during difficult times. It is a call to a love that is a continuous action, not just an emotion, and requires both partners to uplift and honor each other through their words and deeds.
