MARRIAGE

God's Word Teaches: That marriage is binding for life. Monogamy is the uniform teaching of the Bible. Polygamy is contrary to God's perfect will and institution. Also, under the New Testament dispensation, no one has right to divorce and remarry while the first companion lives. When a person becomes converted, necessary restitution, on this line, must be done without delay if he has married wrongly (Genesis 2:24; Deuteronomy7:1-4; Job 23:11-13; 2Corinthians 6:14-18; Proverbs 31:10-31; Malachi 2:14-15; Romans 7:2-3; Ephesians 5:31-33; Matthew 5:31-32; 19:3-9; Mark 10:2-12; Luke16:18; John4:15-19; Genesis 20:3-7).
