Episode 24.2: The Purposes of Marriage

How do you think most people would answer the question about God’s design for marriage? Does the chapter’s ordering reflect anything historically or polemically? What is meant by “mutual help”? What does that look like? What is “legitimate issue”? How can Christians help support non-Christians in the area of marriage? Does God ordinarily build his church through the children of believers? Is it wrong for Christian couples to not want children at all? What about “preventing uncleanness”? Is this a legitimate reason to marry? Tune in as Nathan, Shawn, Joel, and Kyle discuss WCF 24.2:

Marriage was ordained for the mutual help of husband and wife; for the increase of mankind with a legitimate issue, and of the Church with an holy seed; and for preventing of uncleanness.
