The greatest counsel

Welcome to Real Christian Marriage! Advice is everywhere about enriching your marriage. We hope this christian site will help counsel, comfort, and help you in your marriages. The very foundation of society is the marriage. Christian marriages should be the strongest of that foundation.

Great marriages don't just happen though. Marriage is work! Your spouse is their own person with flaws of their own. Don't look now but you have flaws too. When two flawed people become one they are still flawed. That is why God must be in the center of your christian marriage.

Everything from the kitchen to the bedroom is shared by loving couples. Your spouse is going to be at your side from now till death. This marriage covenant we christians commit to is forever. We may as well make it the best christian marriage in the world! There is no better marriage advice than that!
Christian Marriage Counseling

You may be asking yourself what makes a marriage into a christian marriage. For that matter what makes something into christian marriage advice instead of just normal marriage advice. Typically there is no difference in the two in most cases. People like to give advice based on current feelings about subjects. Even christians do this.

So how do we know what makes anything christian? The answer is found in the bible. If the advice you hear comes from the solid ground in the bible then that advice is christian no matter who is giving it. You just need to know what the bible says.

What does the bible say about what marriage is?

* The husband and wife are one unit and no longer separate people with their "own identities". They are now extensions of each other. Gen. 2:23-24
* The husband is the leader in the family. Gen 3:16
* Marriage is a shadow of the relationship of Jesus to the church. Eph. 5:21-33
* Marriage is honorable in all and the marriage bed is to be enjoyed. Heb. 13:4-5
* Marriage is not for children but rather for each partner to have someone to go through life with. Gen. 2:18, Eccl 4:9
* Christian marriages are to be monogamous. Ex. 20:14

Because of christian marriage being the shadow of Jesus and the church together every book in the bible then becomes a book on marriage. There is no way to give better christian marriage advice than to say read the bible!
