  5. Marriage began as contract between two families, an agreement that included specific duties of the husband and wife that would affect not only the couple, but their extended families as well. • Religion had nothing to do with marriage. Equality was not a concern. History

  6. Marriage was a contract where in fidelity was expected. • If that contract was broken, the punishment was harsh. • Divorce was rare and only initiated by the husband. History

  7. Jesus took marriage very seriously, as seen in Matthew chapter 19, when some Pharisees asked him if it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause. • Jesus answered; ―Have you not read that the one who made them at the beginning ‗made them male and female,‘ and said‖, ―For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?‖ ―Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.‖ Jesus’ words

  8. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the third century and the rise of Christianity, the Bishops began to make rules for those who wanted to marry. The church decreed that for a marriage to be valid, it must be preformed in the presence of a priest who would act as witness. History

  9. In 1439 at the Council of Florence, marriage was finally recognized as one of the seven sacraments of the church. It was explained as a ―tangible sign of the union of Christ and the Church.‖ Marriage as Sacrament
