Characteristics of a Godly Marriage
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
Around fifty percent of marriages end in divorce and of those who stay married, a large number are unhappy. “Happily ever after” seems to be something only reserved for fairy tales. Even the disciples, when considering the difficulties of marriage, replied, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry” (Matt 19:10). Certainly, this is not what God had in mind when he created marriage (Gen 2:24). How are married couples supposed to experience the abundant life that God originally meant for them? In 1 Peter 3:1–7, Peter speaks to husbands and wives about the characteristics of a godly marriage and God’s expectation for each in the union. Through this, we learn God’s perfect plan for married couples. Characteristics of a Godly Marriage is an excerpt and adaptation of First Peter: How to Live as Pilgrims in a Hostile World.
