Valentine's Day is a wonderful occasion to celebtate Christian marriage.
Marriage is sacred. It is often called a sacred institution, but marriage is much more than an institution.
Christian marriage is a sacred relationship, in which the couple willingly invite God, the Author and Creator of Life, to be a witness to their vows, and decide together, to let God hold and keep safe, their relationship together, through difficultly, tensions, strains, anxieties and distractions.
The Apostle Paul told members of the church at Corinth, those who profess Jesus Christ as Lord, and let Him be Lord over their lives, become a “new creation,” old things pass away and all things have become new (2 Corinthians 5:17).
So too in a Christian marriage. The man and woman who became a “new creation” as individuals, now must become a new creation as they become one.
On Wednesday 14 February, 2018 we shall celebrate the uniqueness of Christian marriage, rededicating our marriages to the One who holds our marriage relationship together.
