Welcome!
I’m Bub Kuns, and today we’re talking about the benefits of a biblical marriage.
You know, not only is God’s design for marriage beautiful and fulfilling, but it’s also great for mental health!
That’s right! Authors Linda Waite and Mary Elizabeth Hughes found that MARRIED couples have better emotional health and less depression than single adults — EVEN IF THOSE SINGLE ADULTS ARE LIVING WITH SOMEONE ELSE!
Waite and author Maggie Gallagher wrote, “In American society, marriage is not just a label, it remains a transformative act … The emotional support and monitoring of a spouse encourages healthy behavior that in turn affects emotional … well-being … the key seems to be the marriage bond itself: having a partner who is committed for better or for worse, in sickness and in health, makes people happier and healthier.”
Today, as the percentage of people who marry is plummeting, it’s no coincidence that societal depression and loneliness are skyrocketing. Genesis 2 records one of God’s solutions — marriage.
Now, what are other benefits of a biblical marriage? We’ll discuss them another time.
