What is marriage?
When we are dating, we obviously think of marriage. But to make sure you have a strong marriage, you need to commit for the right reasons. Let’s see what the Bible says about it.
The bad reasons for wanting to get married
Anything we try to build on a bad foundation can only collapse with time and hardships. That is also the case for marriage. So it is better to think about our motivations for getting married before making a commitment before God.
