Ironic, Isn't It?

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
Hebrews 13:4

As ironic as it sounds, many cohabiting couples end up in court when their relationships end. According to CNN, large numbers of unmarried-but-living-togethers are trying to prevent future problems by signing "Cohabitation Agreements" to outline what will happen should they split up. These are legally binding documents for couples who cohabit but don't marry. What happens, for example, if they buy a house together? A car? What about insurance matters? These become legal issues that must be resolved in something akin to "divorce court."

No matter how hard our society tries, we can't get away from our need for hallowed and happy relationships. There's a desire in each of us to be loved and connected with another person, and marriage is a God-designed, purposeful plan. Yet many people are seeking temporary connections with others and avoiding God's plan for a committed marriage--missing the joy of oneness that God designed. But it only leads to more trouble.

Follow God's plan and keep marriage honorable among all.

Marriage is a partnership between one man and one woman... Nothing could be clearer in the Bible as to what constitutes a marriage in God's sight.
