Selected books on Christian Marriage gathered for you. Theological perspectives on marriage and Christian terminology varied by nation, time period, and Christian denomination.
Protestants view marriage as a sacred institution or “holy ordinance” of God, whilst Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christians view it as a sacred mystery or sacrament.
However, there are different views among denominations and individual Christians regarding not only the idea of Christian marriage but also divorce, remarriage, gender roles, family authority (the “headship” of the husband), married women’s legal status, birth control, marriageable age, cousin marriage, in-law marriage, interfaith marriage, same-sex marriage, and polygamy, among other issues. As a result, it is impossible to say that there is a single, consistent, global perspective on marriage among all those who identify as Christians in the twenty-first century.
Christian theology has never advocated for universal marriage; in Western Europe, celibacy among priests or monks was regarded as important as marriage, if not more so, for many centuries. As with those who received holy orders or monastic vows, Christians who did not marry were supposed to abstain from all sexual behavior.
They are books that will help you in your journey to marriage.
