“Marriage is not merely a piece of paper; it is a living picture of Christ’s unbreakable love for His Bride, the Church (Ephesians 5). By guarding the permanence of the marriage bond, the church protects the innocent, honors God’s creation design, and testifies to a watching world about the faithful, covenant-keeping love of God.”
(Tony Arsenal – Reformed Arsenal) Few institutions in the modern world have been as fiercely debated, redefined, and fractured as marriage. Contemporary culture increasingly views marriage as a fluid social contract based on personal fulfillment, to be entered and exited at will.
Against this cultural confusion, the Westminster Confession offers a profoundly stabilizing, biblical theology of the family. In Chapter 24, the divines remind us that marriage is not a human invention to be reimagined, but a divine institution rooted in creation. By establishing a high, biblical view of marriage, the Confession simultaneously establishes strict, biblical boundaries for divorce.
