Deep dives

Value of Marriage Regardless of Belief

The concept of a 'Christian marriage' is examined, with emphasis on the idea that every marriage holds equal value, irrespective of the partners' beliefs. It is argued that defining a marriage as distinctly Christian may lead to the devaluation of relationships involving a non-believer. Instead of perceiving a marriage to a non-Christian as inferior, the focus shifts to recognizing one's own role as a Christian within that marriage. This perspective encourages individuals to uphold their Christian values without imposing expectations on their spouses who may not share the same beliefs.
