Clear away everything you believe about what a marriage should be like. In its place, let's start from the beginning of the Bible and let God define what a godly marriage is to be. No matter one's age, gender, or marital status, a godly marriage is what every baptized member is to have, now. Let's be sure we are doing our roles right in God's eyes.
