Welcome <\/span>to <\/span>this <\/span>special <\/span>Bible <\/span>study <\/span>for <\/span>married <\/span>couples.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hebrews <\/span>13:<\/span>4 (<\/span>NKJV)<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n
\n

“<\/span>Marriage <\/span>is <\/span>honorable <\/span>among <\/span>all, <\/span>and <\/span>the <\/span>bed <\/span>undefiled; <\/span>but <\/span>fornicators <\/span>and <\/span>adulterers <\/span>God <\/span>will <\/span>judge.”<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In <\/span>this <\/span>powerful <\/span>verse, <\/span>the <\/span>Bible <\/span>highlights <\/span>two <\/span>important <\/span>principles<\/span><\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Marriage <\/span>must <\/span>be <\/span>honored <\/span>by <\/span>all <\/span>people<\/span><\/strong>, <\/span>and<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    The <\/span>marriage <\/span>bed <\/span>must <\/span>remain <\/span>pure.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let\u2019s <\/span>examine <\/span>each <\/span>of <\/span>these <\/span>truths <\/span>closely.<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. <\/span>Marriage <\/span>Must <\/span>Be <\/span>Honored <\/span>by <\/span>All<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The <\/span>Scripture <\/span>says: <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Marriage <\/span>is <\/span>honorable <\/span>among <\/span>all…\u201d<\/span><\/em>\u2014<\/span>meaning <\/span>this <\/span>command <\/span>is <\/span>not <\/span>limited <\/span>to <\/span>just <\/span>a <\/span>few <\/span>people; <\/span>everyone<\/span><\/strong> is <\/span>called <\/span>to <\/span>honor <\/span>marriage. <\/span>This <\/span>includes <\/span>two <\/span>distinct <\/span>groups:<\/span><\/p>\n

    a) <\/span>Married <\/span>couples <\/span>themselves<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Husbands <\/span>and <\/span>wives <\/span>are <\/span>the <\/span>first <\/span>and <\/span>most <\/span>responsible<\/span><\/strong> parties <\/span>when <\/span>it <\/span>comes <\/span>to <\/span>honoring <\/span>marriage. <\/span>The <\/span>Bible <\/span>defines <\/span>marriage <\/span>as <\/span>a <\/span>covenant <\/span>between <\/span>one <\/span>man <\/span>and <\/span>one <\/span>woman<\/span><\/strong> (<\/span>Genesis <\/span>2:<\/span>24; <\/span>Matthew <\/span>19:<\/span>4\u2013<\/span>6), <\/span>and <\/span>both <\/span>parties <\/span>must <\/span>work <\/span>actively <\/span>to <\/span>uphold <\/span>it.<\/span><\/p>\n
