foundation of a christian marr
The first recognised human relationship, was that of Adam and Eve. After the happening of Creation, God took soil and made Adam, and placed him on earth. Deciding to give Adam a companion, God took a rib from Adam, thus the creation of Eve. The story of Adam and Eve, is God's plan for future people, as they made a mistake, but they were forgiven and led a happy life from then on. This relates to many Christians today, as many are reformed criminals or people who have sinned, and everything will be forgotten, once they are forgiven by God. Also Adam and Eve heavily relied on God, many married couples today are advised to include God in their lives.Throughout the bible there are many references of views and discussions of marriage and divorce, such as in the Book of Hosea, which is basically reinforcing the idea of forgiveness in marriage.

In Paul's letter in 1 Corinthians 7, he is writing about the relationship in a marriage between a man and woman. I picked up on Paul was dealing with the issue of women as inferiors as in his letter, men were always spoke of first, and women left to last. Still, women are seen as the inferior race, and the inferior role in a marriage. 10:9, Jesus' view on divorce is written. When someone asks if a man could divorce his wife, Jesus replies with, "A man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife and the two will become one. So they are no longer two, but one. Man must not separate, then, what God has joined together." Jesus went further on, to explain that when a person divorces their partner, and marries another lover, they are committing adultery.
