Most Christian traditions view marriage as a sacred union between one man and one woman, instituted by God. The Bible underscores the importance of lifelong marriage. While Christians uphold the seriousness of marriage, they also recognize divorce may sometimes be necessary. There is disagreement around gender roles, with views ranging from complete equality to male-dominant hierarchies. Same-sex marriage is accepted in some denominations where legal.

1. Christian views on marriage
Most Christian authorities and bodies view marriage (also called Holy Matrimony) as a state instituted
and ordained by God for the lifelong relationship between one man as husband and one woman as wife.
They consider it the most intimate of human relationships, a gift from God, and a sacred institution.[1]
Protestants consider it to be sacred, holy, and even central to the community of faith,[2] while
Catholics[3] and Orthodox Christians[4] consider it a Sacrament. Biblically, it is to be "held in honour
among all…."[Heb. 13:4]
Jesus Christ underscored the importance and sacredness of lifelong marriage in his own teachings. He
stated that God had created mankind as male and female, [Genesis 1:27] and that in marriage "'the two
will become one flesh'. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined
together, let no one separate."[Matt. 19:5b-6]
Civil laws recognize marriage as having social and political statuses. Christian theology affirms the
secular status of marriage, but additionally views it from a moral and religious perspective that
transcends all social interests.
While marriage is honored and affirmed among Christians and throughout the Bible, there is no
suggestion that it is necessary for everyone. Single people who either have chosen to remain unmarried
or who have lost their spouse for some reason are neither incomplete in Christ nor personal failures.[5]
The New Testament teaches that sex is reserved for marriage.[5] It calls sex outside of marriage the sin
of adultery (for the married person) if either sexual participant is married to another person, while it
calls voluntary sexual intercourse between two unmarried persons the sin of fornication.
Christians seek to uphold the seriousness of wedding vows. Yet, they respond with compassion to deep
hurts by recognizing that divorce, though less than the ideal, is sometimes necessary to relieve one
partner of intolerable hardship, unfaithfulness or desertion.[5] While the voice of God had said, "I hate
divorce",[Malachi 2:16] some authorities believe the divorce rate in the church is nearly comparable to
that of the culture at large.[6]
There is considerable disagreement among Christians as to the biblical way to define the roles of each
marriage partner, and how each should interact in the family to create healthy family relationships and
to please God. Roles in Christian marriages between opposite-sex couples challenge deep-rooted
beliefs, teachings, and traditions—most dating from biblical days. Opinions and teachings vary among
three principal groups—one group that believes in a full and co-equal partnership of the husband and
wife, and two others which advocate a male-dominant hierarchical structure in marriage:
Christian egalitarianism proposes a completely equal partnership between men and women in both

2. the family and in the church. Its proponents teach "the fundamental biblical principle of the equality of
all human beings before God".[Gal. 3:28] According to this principle, there can be no moral or
theological justification for permanently granting or denying status, privilege, or prerogative solely on
the basis of a person's race, class, or gender.[7]
Complementarianism prescribes a husband-headship male-dominant hierarchy. This view's core
beliefs call for a "husband’s loving, humble headship" and "the wife’s intelligent, willing submission"
to his headship. Without necessarily using the term "obey", they believe women have "different but
complementary roles and responsibilities in marriage..."[8]
Biblical patriarchy prescribes a strict male-dominant hierarchy. Their organization's first tenet is that
"God reveals Himself as masculine, not feminine. God is the eternal Father and the eternal Son, the
Holy Spirit is also addressed as 'He,' and Jesus Christ is a male." They consider the husband-father to
be "sovereign" over "his" household—the family leader, provider, and protector. They call for a wife to
be obedient to her "head" (husband).[9]
A small and growing number of denominations conduct weddings between same-sex couples where it
is civilly legal. A few others perform ceremonies to bless same-sex unions without recognizing them as
marriage.[citation needed]
Some Christian authorities used to permit polygamy (specifically polygyny) in the past, but this
practice, besides being illegal in Western cultures, is now considered to be out of the Christian
mainstream and continues to be practised only by fringe fundamentalist sects.
