This third message on Biblical marriage presents God 's plan for a wedding ceremony that is pleasing to Him. Previously we saw that courting/dating is an extended time of general, friendly relationships that allow individuals to get to know each other and narrow down their decision for a mate. We also saw that engagement/betrothal is a specific, best friend commitment to one individual in preparation for marriage. Now we will examine how God-designed the wedding ceremony to be a public commitment: (1) demonstrating God's VISION to all, of leaving, cleaving and becoming one flesh; (2) presenting the couple's VOWS, which declare a permanent partnership (companion) and a public pledge (covenant); and (3) holding up God's VALUE of marriage, as being highly prized, the bed undefiled and its violation requiring severe judgment for neglecting and breaking God's commands.
