    47. Finding the Right Life Partner Do not be ‘unequally yoked’ OT Principle (Deut 7:1-6, Ex 34:15-16, Neh 13:23-28) No covenant/intermarriage with Canaanites (representing the world/sin/unbelievers) Lest they turn from God They are called a ‘holy people’ and a ‘people for His own possession’

    48. Finding the Right Life Partner Do not be ‘unequally yoked’ II Cor 6:14-18 No partnership/covenant with unbelievers/uncleanness/idols God wants to dwell in us-therefore be separate Clearly forbids marriage with unbelievers

    49. Finding the Right Life Partner Do not be ‘unequally yoked’ Biblical examples Samson Solomon Real-life lessons

    50. Finding the Right Life Partner Knowing God’s Will Various understandings of God’s will in our marriage partner God has no preference-anyone is just as good (within biblical boundaries) God allows you to choose from a few selected potential people God has a best choice for you God has a best choice for you Adam and Eve (Gen 2:21-24) Isaac and Rebecca (Gen 24:10-76) Learning from David (ISam 23:2, 4, 6, 9-12. 30:8, IISam 5:19,23) See Proverbs 3:5-6, 18:22, 19:14

    53. Dating Verses Courtship See handout “Dating vs Courtship” “The Wisdom and Freedom of Courtship vs Dating” next pages

    54. Biblical Guidelines for Courtship Understanding moral purity (I Cor 6:9-20,v9-10, v16-18) No adultery (extra-marital sex) or fornication (pre-marital sex) (v9) Sexual intercourse results in union with sexual partner(v16) Sexual immorality is sin against the body (v18) Our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit-it belongs to God(v19) Sexual union is a covenantal act toward a lifelong marriage covenant. This covenant stands as long as both parties are alive!

    55. Biblical Guidelines for Courtship Integrity-do not defraud (Matt 5:37) Don’t say what you don’t mean Don’t exaggerate Don’t make promises you can’t/don’t intend to keep Don’t mislead by your words or actions Always clarify any misunderstanding

    58. Marriage Relationship: Singlehood Jesus’ teaching on celibacy (Matt 19:10-12) Not everyone can voluntarily accept celibacy Some choose celibacy to devote themselves to serving God’s Kingdom It’s a noble thing, a high calling Paul’s teaching on Celibacy (I Cor 7:25-35) Paul recommends celibacy Paul feels that it is better than marriage because: Of the present tribulation (I Cor 7:25-28) Time is short-Jesus coming again (I Cor 7:29-31) Free from concerns and distractions(ICor 7:32-35) It’s a gift of God (I Cor 7:7)

    59. Marriage The Origin God created man and woman (Gen 1:27) God instituted marriage (Gen 2:24) Purposes of Marriage Helper; complement each other (Gen 2:20; 1:27) Companionship (Gen 2:18) Procreation (Gen 1:28)

    60. Marriage The Marriage Vow Ordained by God (Gen 2:24,Matt19:4-6,Mark 10:6-9) Witnessed by the church Recognized by civil authorities The Covenental Act (see I Cor 6:15-18) Till death do us part (Rom 7:2-3, ICor 7:7-8, I Cor 7:39) No marriage in heaven (Matt 22:30,Mk 12:25, Lk 20:34-35)

    62. Polygamy Biblical Characters Practiced Polygamy Eg. Abraham,Jacob,Solomon Biblical narratives cannot be used for teaching polygamy Most biblical examples of polygamy caused problems Monogamy is God’s Ideal The first marriage (Gen 2:24) Paul’s teaching (Eph 5:33) Standard for leaders (I Tim 3:2, 12. Titus 1:6)

    63. Divorce and Remarriage Divorce is not God’s will God hates divorce (Mal 2:16) What God has joined, let no one tear asunder (Matt 19:6, Mk 10:9) Divorce in the Old Testament Divorce allowed for ‘indecency’ (Deut 24:1-4) Remarriage also allowed (Deut 24:1-4) God divorced Isreal, but still seeks her (Isa 50:1, Jer 3:6-8)

    64. Divorce and Remarriage Divorce as a last resort in certain situations Divorce allowed only as a concession (Matt 5:31, 19:7-8, Mk 10:5) Only if there is infidelity (Matt 5:32, 19:9) Only if the unbelieving spouse leaves (I Cor 7:15-16)
