We should encourage Christian Marriage

Many Christian brothers and sisters are experienced bitterness of divorce. In my mine one of the reasons was that they did not married a Christian. And also some churches should educate culture of marriage to young couples.

Churches could encourage and support young Christians to marry a Christian, in this way we will have stronger and healthier church.

If marriage is based on love of Lord Jesus, I don’t think it is going to end in divorces easily. When husband and wife pray together for different issues, this culture is not going to be broken easily plus they will have conversation always. Which not having a conversation is sources of many divorces.

I think the whole issue is individualism which stands between church and people.

With sharp decline in church attendees, this could be very good solution as well.

I never understood how a Christian man could marry a Muslim girl, or Christian girl could marry a Buddhist. The argue that they may bring that non believers to church, is not supported by evidence.

In fact evidence shows that they even could take away committed Christian or effect in person who believes to become some sort of liberal pluralism believers.

Why do we think in many religions like Islam followers are banned to marry others (in their minds non believers)?

I’m not suggesting here that we should make some strange law about it, but it is worth thinking why some religions banning such marriages.

From other side it is very difficult for young Christian to find their matches, simply because there are not many young people in many churches or they are not in touch with other Christians from other churches, so stock in their denomination that they forget they belong to wider family.

In case of new believers with other cultural back ground, it is much harder to find their future husband or wife.

Maybe the solution for such things is starting some coerces regard of Christian marriage and introducing it to churches.
