The Purpose of Marriage. Part 1.

Loading player...
Amanda Maqebuka and Pastor Makhaba discuss the purpose of marriage in Part 1, urging intentional entry beyond peer pressure, lust, or financial gain. Couples must discern God's calling, seeking a partner aligned with shared values, spiritual maturity, and complementary strengths for companionship, procreation, and mutual sanctification. Preparation involves self-examination, premarital counseling, and clarity on roles to build covenant love that glorifies God. They warn against superficial motives, emphasizing marriage as a divine institution for growth, legacy, and reflecting Christ's love for the church.
