SUNDAY, 14TH MAY, 2017
TOPIC: CHRISTIAN MARRIAGE
MEMORY VERSE: ‘’And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man." - Genesis 2:23
BIBLE PASSAGE: Genesis 2:21-25
INTRODUCTION:
The marriage institution was ordained by God as part of the essential process of life. It is one of the fundamental and basic sacraments in the Christian church. It is the oldest institution which God Himself established at the beginning of creation. It is the bedrock of the church. We should approach marriage with dignity as a sacred and divine institution (Hebrews 13:4).
LESSON OUTLINES
1. The reason for marriage
2. Marriage is for adults
THE REASON FOR MARRIAGE
There are various reasons people go into marriage relationship. The first principal reason for Christian marriage is for mutual fellowship. Loneliness is not good. It is dangerous. The Lord saw the man needed companionship, hence, the creation of woman (Genesis 2:18-22, 24). There are exceptions according to the Apostle Paul in 1Corinthians 7:32. Secondly, God made us with sexual desires that are good, holy and legitimate but must only be satisfied in marriage. This will also check the sinful life of adultery or fornication (1Corinthians 7:12). Thirdly, to obey the command of God, which is to be fruitful, multiply, propagate the human race and replenish the earth through child bearing/rearing in the fear of God (Genesis 1:28; 9:1; Proverbs 22:6). Fourthly, two are better than one because they have a good reward for their labour (Eccles. 4:9-11). Lastly, it takes two (a man and a woman) to make "one flesh" (Genesis 2:24).
MARRIAGE IS FOR ADULTS
Anyone who wants to marry must be matured physically and should have attained the age of accountability. Financially, the intending couple, especially the man, should be strong enough to provide for a household (1Timothy 5:. They should also be mentally and emotionally balanced (Titus 1:. Marriage requires a separation from parents (Mark 10:6-9). It carries a lot of responsibilities that childish minded persons cannot bear (1Samuel 25:18-25). A good Christian marriage also requires the consent and blessing of parents of both parties (Genesis 24:50-51, 59-60).
CONCLUSION:
Marriage is a holy institution and God is the author. He has set the ideals in the Bible. Anyone who fails to apply these will surely have problems with their homes. Let us pray for the success of all Christian marriages worldwide.

Marriage is for people with matured minds....you can be an adult and still immature...

Good. I'm in the Sunday school session now and it's interesting looking at those babes faces talking about Christian marriage

I love this...soo true though i'll say that been an adult isnt same as "maturity"...alot of grow ups are never matured these days and not even "too much money" or been a celeberity can cover up for that.

I am in the church but no Sunday school book with me. So I find this post useful. Thanks

Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

In my church the sunday school teacher made us to understand that the adult isn't all about age but also with maturity. She gave an example that only babies will engage in abusing each other physically and verbally
Today's sunday school was a wow

One man asked a question. He said if a man of 50 who has nothing he's doing finds a woman he wants to get married to, that is the church saying the marriage cannot hold?

God forbid o. A man of 50 who has nothing going for him, no be say e dey even sell pure water o. It is well.

NICE AND SIMPLE. GOD BLESS YOU @POSTER.
