Proper Marriage Before God



Proper Marriage Before God
Author: Mark V. Markov

Proper marriage before God
Is so crucial,
Is so beneficial.
For a woman to remain a virgin,
Until she finds a man
To spend all her life on earth with.

For the word of God
Recognizes that marriage
Between a man and a woman
Is when they become one flesh
If you are one flesh with anyone outside your marriage.
It becomes adultery.

The Old Testament verses say
If a man seduces a virgin to sleep with him
He supposed to marry her
God is the One Who
Gave Moses instruction
When it comes to a woman to be married.

New Testament verse says
The wife is bound to her husband
Until he passes away
Then she can remarry.
So the next person she is one flesh with
After the man she was married to
Through the act of one flesh
Had passed away
She belongs to that man all her life.
Every time the man that the woman belongs to
Passes away
The woman again is free to remarry

So the proper marriage
Would be
If a woman
Lost her virginity to a man
She is married to him before God
And now
She needs to wait until he passes away
If she wants to marry someone else,
To be properly married again.

And when the man passes away
The next man she is one flesh with after the passing.
Before God,
She belongs to that person all his life.

It’s not as crucial for a man
To be a virgin,
In order to be properly married to a woman, before God.
If a woman is either a virgin or the man she lost her virginity to
Had passed away
And she was not one flesh with anyone else
After the passing of that man happened.

To be properly married
As an example
If a man lost his virginity
To a woman that belongs to another man,
She still belongs to that other man.
Therefore he and she committed adultery.
The man who lost his virginity to her,
Is not married to her.

Yet, If a man was a virgin and slept with a woman
Who was a virgin
Or a woman whose man she lost her virginity to
Had passed away
Then he is married to her through the act before God.

And of course, if he is not a virgin and sleeps with a virgin woman
Or with a woman whose man she lost her virginity to
Had passed away
He becomes married that way all his life,
Through the act of one flesh.
If a man is one flesh with anyone outside of
that marriage,
It becomes adultery.

So it is not as crucial for a man to be a virgin
To be properly married before God
Since men were allowed to have
More than one wife.
For when the man was one flesh
With his second wife
He was no longer a virgin
Still he was properly married
To both of his wives.

Woman was created by God
As a suitable helper
And it was allowed by God
To have more than one helper for the family.

Also since the woman belongs
Through the act of being one flesh
To the man all his life.
She cannot have two husbands.
Since she would be commiting adultery
On the man to whom she belongs to all her life.

As it is mentioned in the Word of God
It's very crucial for a woman
To be in these three categories
When it comes to
The proper marriage before God.

To be a virgin.

To be free from the man
She belonged to
Though the act of one flesh
When she lost her virginity.

Or to be free
From the man she married properly
The second time, third, fourth etc.

This was an instruction
In the Holy Scriptures
For proper marriage,
Between man and a woman.
For the proper marriage before God.

For those just starting out,
When it comes to
Proper marriage to more then one wife.
This relationship might not be for everyone.
For some it could be difficult,
To maintain an equal relationship.
Please inquire of the Lord
Through a prophet, whose prophesies came true.

Of course also,
You wanna make sure that there is harmony.
In the relationship,
Since you are supposed to be together all your life.
With all your wives.

Once again
A man doesn’t have to be a virgin
To be properly married.
As long as he is married to ;

A woman who is a virgin.

A woman
Who’s man she lost her virginity to
Had passed away.

Or to the woman
Whose man she was properly married to
The second time, third, fourth etc.
Had passed away.

It's very crucial for a woman to know
That through the act of losing her virginity
She belongs to the man all his life
And so
If a man is one flesh with women in those categories
Then he is married to them
Through the act before God,
All his life.

Please remember that Solomon had seven hundred wives.

So if a man was with two virgins
Then through the act he is married to the two virgins
All his life.
So if one of the women is not with him
But the other is
He is still properly married to her
And it's not adultery.
But he should think of the other one as his wife also And look after her.
If he is one flesh with anyone outside the marriage to his wife or wives.
That is adultery.

If she doesn't want to be part of the family
And chooses to remain not being one flesh
With anyone else
If she chooses to live separately until he passes away.
He still needs to look at her as his wife.

If she is one flesh with someone else
Then she is committing adultery,
Since she belongs to the man she lost her virginity to
All his life on this earth.
In this situation only she is in sin for adultery.
She still is his wife before God till he passes away.

Proper marriage before God
Is so crucial,
Is so beneficial.
For a woman to remain a virgin,
Until she finds a man
To spend all her life on earth with.
As Jesus Christ said
If there is a divorce unless its sexual immorality
As the result
The people commit adultery.
God wants those who got married properly,
To stay together all their life.

For the word of God
Recognizes that marriage
Between a man and woman
Is when they become one flesh
As it said in Genesis
For a man will leave his father and mother
Cleave to his wife
And they shall be one flesh.

The Old Testament verses say
If a man seduces a virgin to sleep with him
He supposed to marry her
God is the One Who
Gave Moses instruction
When it comes to a woman to be married.


Genesis 2:24 ESV
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.


So see the person
Who is baptized in the Holy Spirit
With evidence of speaking in tongues
Who has the gift of prophesy.

When you go to the prophet
To pray and  inquire of the Lord
Before you go
Pray to God directly
And explain your need to Him.

So than when you see the prophet,
Just mention that you have a personal need
That you need him or her to pray with you.
So than it is between God and you.

When the Lord answers you
When God answers your need,
You will know also
That it is from the Lord.

Since the prophet is only praying for your need.
The need that the Lord knows already from you,
Since you directly prayed to the Lord already.
And just need a confirmation from God.

So than when you see the prophet,
Just mention that you have a personal need
That you need him or her to pray with you.
So than it is between God and you.

When the Lord answers you
When God answers your need,
You will know also
That it is from the Lord...


Genesis 2:24 ESV
24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.

Exodus 22:16 ESV
Laws About Social Justice
“If a man seduces a virgin who is not betrothed and lies with her, he shall give the bride-price for her and make her his wife.

Deuteronomy 22:28-29
English Standard Version
28 “If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found,

29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.

Deuteronomy 22:13-21 (ESV)

13 “If any man takes a wife and goes in to her and then hates her
14 and accuses her of misconduct and brings a bad name upon her, saying, ‘I took this woman, and when I came near her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity,’
15 then the father of the young woman and her mother shall take and bring out the evidence of her virginity to the elders of the city in the gate.
16 And the father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man to marry, and he hates her;
17 and behold, he has accused her of misconduct, saying, “I did not find in your daughter evidence of virginity.” And yet this is the evidence of my daughter's virginity.’ And they shall spread the cloak before the elders of the city.
18 Then the elders of that city shall take the man and whip him,
19 and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name upon a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife. He may not divorce her all his days.
20 But if the thing is true, that evidence of virginity was not found in the young woman,
21 then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done an outrageous thing in Israel by whoring in her father's house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.

1 Corinthians 7:39 ESV
A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to be married to whom she wishes, only in the Lord.

Sexual purity is for both men and women, yet in the Old Testament many believers had more than one wife. But they were still properly married. Because the husband lost his virginity to the first wife, the second one he had, he was still properly married to, since it is allowed to have more than one wife. Woman was created by God as a helper, as an angel.

So therefore for a man its not as crucial to be a virgin to be properly married before God. Yet for a woman since once she loses her virginity to a man, she is married to him before God.It is very important and crucial not to lose her virginity to a random man.But to wait until she finds someone she wants to spend all her life with.

Genesis 2:18 ESV
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”

Matthew 5:32 ESV
But I say to you that everyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of sexual immorality, makes her commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
If the people are properly married before God,
the wife or wives belong to the husband all his life.
so if there is a divorce, since the wife or wives belong to the husband all his life. Every time the wife or wives are one flesh with someone else, while the husband is alive. It becomes adultery before God.That is why Jesus Christ said "makes her commit adultery."

1 Corinthians 7:10-11 ESV
10 To the married I give this charge (not I, but the Lord): the wife should not separate from her husband
11 (but if she does, she should remain unmarried or else be reconciled to her husband), and the husband should not divorce his wife.
The verses 10 and 11 shows a statement that a wife should go back to the husband and the husband should not divorce her.That is what is being said there.The context explains it, this verse does not contradict the statement of Jesus Christ.It upholds it, and the emphasis is to stay together, as Christ emphasized.The instruction is that she is coming back to him and he should accept her and not divorce her.


Deuteronomy 18:21-22
English Standard Version

21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the Lord has not spoken?’—

22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.

This is very important to point out once again
The man doesn't have to be a virgin to be properly married
If the woman he is married to, is a virgin, or from other two categories.
For any man, please do not divorce your wife because you married her when you were not a virgin, if she was a virgin, or from other two categories.
Because you would be in adultery before God.
If you are one flesh with anyone outside of your proper marriage.
And the woman or women that belong to you through the act of one flesh before God
If they are one flesh with anyone else
They will be in adultery also
Since they belong to you through the act of one flesh until you pass away.

1 Corinthians 7:1-5 (ESV)
1 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.”
 2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
 3 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.
4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.
5 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

1 Corinthians 7:2 (ESV)
2 But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.

1 Timothy 3:12 (ESV)
Let deacons each be the husband of one wife, managing their children and their own households well.

1 Timothy 3:2 (ESV)
Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,

Titus 1:6 (ESV)
if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination.
