New Marriage
Genesis 2:24, KJV
"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
The definition of “new” is: not existing before; made, introduced, or discovered recently or now for the first time. A new marriage is about two people—each with different family backgrounds, education, experiences, life stories, and personalities—becoming one and committing to love each other forever. This means they are no longer a “me,” but an “us.”
New marriage brings tears of joy, but it can also bring tears as a result of change. Could it be possible to maintain the passion of new love over a lifetime? Could it be possible to embrace all of each other’s differences and focus entirely on giving rather than receiving? Could it be possible to have hope for a “happily ever after,” even during times of challenge?
Join us as we explore the new marriage. We’ll hear and read firsthand testimonies from individuals who have experienced a new marriage from different points of view. We’ll also explore Biblical truth on the topic to see what the Lord says, and we’ll discuss practical ways to support others as they navigate the journey of new marriage.
