Introduction to The Mechanics of Biblical Marriage (and a table of contents)

By


It's always a pleasure to get into the Word of God for a deep dive into what He has to say to us, and this particular series of studies is no different. I’m particularly excited to present this specific project to you all, and it has been the largest project I've put my time toward since I began writing for this blog. My goal with this series of posts is to approach the biblical truth surrounding the topic of marriage with as much directness and perhaps even bluntness as possible. No beating around the bush, just the plain and simple truth of what God has revealed in His word. 

I'm not a greatly experienced man in marriage, even though I am married, but the purpose of this article series is not to provide sage advice based on decades of practical experience. The purpose of these articles is to present the wisdom contained in the Word of God as simply and plainly as possible. 

There are many sensitive topics surrounding marriage, but because of the purpose in writing, these topics may have all the tact of a bulldozer, just so you are aware. The findings of many of these posts are counter-cultural, so be aware that these posts will be somewhat shocking. 

With that said, these posts are for those seeking to learn more about biblical marriage, and to that end, I hope you find them extremely informative and useful for this purpose. There are a lot of misconceptions around the topic of biblical marriage, some of which I have taught myself in the past. You might have been wondering, since I've already written a rather lengthy study on marriage, why I'm doing another one, and that is precisely the reason. Many of the things I wrote previously were misconceptions or just plain wrong (that's what happens when you teach based on doctrine and traditions rather than straight from the Bible). 

What do you mean when you say that you do marriage biblically? 
Is the way you are doing your marriage and the processes surrounding it actually biblical? 

Chances are, biblical marriage, that is, biblical marriage done the way it was done in the Bible, is not what you think it is. If you are actually going to do marriage biblically, wouldn't it be nice to know what the Bible actually has to say on the topic?
Instead of tradition and what everyone says biblical marriage is, let's find out what the Bible actually has to say on the topics surrounding marriage, and finally, let's see what a biblical marriage actually looks like!

I say this based on things God has since revealed through His word, so the effort of this series is to correct those things I've taught incorrectly in the past, and instead teach what the Bible actually says as completely and accurately as possible. I hope this series proves useful, informative, and at the very least, entertaining. 

Happy studying!



To help you navigate this series more easily, I have included a table of contents below. Some of the articles are not yet finished, and when they are, I'll add the link below. A couple of titles have been redacted to preserve the mystery. Haha 
Also, unless otherwise stated, all definitions of words are taken from Browns lexicon for the Hebrew and Thayers for the Greek. If I use another source other than those two, I'll say so in the article.
