Marriage is a gift of God in Creation

Marriage is a gift of God in creation and a means of his grace; it is given that husband and wife may comfort and help each other, living faithfully together in need and in plenty, in sorrow and in joy; it is given that with delight and tenderness they may know each other in love.  It is given as the foundation of family life in which children may be born and nurtured in accordance with God’s will, to his praise and glory.
