Pastoral Theological Perspective on Marriage Sample Clauses

Pastoral Theological Perspective on Marriage. As a pastoral counselor belonging to the Christian faith tradition, I do believe in marriage as a divine institution that should be respected and cherished. The book of Genesis records the establishing of the marriage covenant between Xxxx and Eve. The scripture says, “Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh.”25 There are two distinct persons coming together as one. There is a union, and that union is based on commitment to make it work. The nature of this union is in some ways similar to the union that Xxxxx referred to when he said, “The Father and I are one.”26 Marriage is a covenant relationship and it provides a glimpse of the eternal Triune God. This involves a commitment to one’s mate and the maintenance of trust and fidelity. The terms commitment and covenant are very significant. These concepts originate in God – who God is and how God relates to humans. God is a covenant keeping God. God is faithful and God promises to be with us forever. God does not break God’s covenant and forsake us. The character of God is pure love and fairness in all God’s dealings. Likewise, Apostle Xxxx admonishes us, “In the same way, husbands should love their wives as they do their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves 25 Gen. 2:4 NRSV (New Revised Standard Version).
