Casamento
O casamento é aliança sagrada instituída por Deus. Ele une marido e mulher em uma só carne — pacto de amor, fidelidade e companheirismo que reflete o amor de Cristo pela Igreja.
Fundamento divino
Não é bom que o homem esteja só. Deus criou o casamento como aliança de companheirismo, amor e fecundidade.
Then the Lord God said, "It’s not good for Adam to be alone. I will make someone to help him, someone that’s like him."
So the Lord God put Adam into a deep sleep and as he slept the Lord God removed one of Adam’s ribs and closed up the place where he took it with body tissue. The Lord God made a woman, using the rib he’d taken from Adam, and presented her to Adam.
"Finally!" said Adam. "Here is bone from my bone and flesh from my flesh. She shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man."
This is the reason a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one being.
This is the reason a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two become one being. Adam and his wife Eve were both naked, but they weren’t embarrassed about it.

God said, "Let us make human beings in our image who are like us. They will have authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, and over the whole of the earth and every creature that moves on it." So God created human beings in his own image. He created them in the image of God. He created them male and female. God blessed them and told them, "Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth and control it; exercise authority over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that moves on the earth."
Adam slept with his wife Eve and she became pregnant. She gave birth to Cain, and said, "With the Lord’s help I have made a man."
Adam slept with his wife again, and she had a son and named him Seth, explaining that, "God has given me another child to replace Abel, the one Cain killed."
Fidelidade conjugal
O que Deus ajuntou não separe o homem. O casamento deve ser honrado e o leito matrimonial preservado sem impureza.
Now they’re no longer two, but one. What God has joined together no one should separate."
Jesus replied, "Haven’t you read that God who created people in the beginning made them male and female? He said, ‘This is the reason a man will leave his father and mother, and join with his wife, and the two shall become one.’ Now they’re no longer two, but one. What God has joined together no one should separate."
He said, ‘This is the reason a man will leave his father and mother, and join with his wife, and the two shall become one.’ Now they’re no longer two, but one. What God has joined together no one should separate."
The law also said, ‘If a man divorces his wife, he should give her a certificate of divorce.’ But I tell you that any man who divorces his wife except for sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
You’ve heard that the law said, ‘Don’t commit adultery.’ But I tell you that everyone who looks lustfully at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his mind.
"Moses allowed a man to write a certificate of divorce and send the woman away," they replied.
Then Jesus told them, "Moses only wrote down this rule for you because of your hard-hearted attitude. However, in the beginning, from creation, God made male and female. That’s why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined in marriage to his wife, and the two become one body. They are no longer two but one. Let no one separate what God has joined together."
"And if the wife divorces her husband and marries again she commits adultery."
Everyone should honor marriage. Husbands and wives should be faithful to each other. God will judge adulterers.

Amor como Cristo
Maridos, amai vossas mulheres como Cristo amou a igreja. O amor conjugal reflete o evangelho em ação.
Husbands, you should love your wives in the same way as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. He made it holy, he made it clean by washing in the water of the word,
Husbands, you should love your wives in the same way as Christ loved the church and gave himself for it. He made it holy, he made it clean by washing in the water of the word, so that he could make the church his own, with no flaw or blemish or any kind of fault, but holy and blameless.

A man who loves his wife loves himself— for no one ever hated his own body, but feeds it and looks after it, just as Christ does for the church, for we are parts of his body.

Wives, do what your own husbands tell you to do, as you would if the Lord told you. The husband is head of the wife in the same way as Christ is head of the church—his body and its savior. In the same way that the church does what Christ says, wives should do what their husbands tell them in all things.

However, each husband should love his own wife as he does himself, and the wife should respect her husband.

Sexual immorality or any kind of indecency or greed should never be mentioned concerning you, as God’s people should not be doing such things.
Submissão e respeito
Mulheres, sujeitem-se aos próprios maridos. Maridos, convivam com as esposas com conhecimento e honra.
You married women, respect your husbands appropriately in the Lord. You married men, love your wives and don’t treat them badly.
Above all, love one another, which is the perfect bond that will hold you together. May the peace of Christ direct your thinking, because you were called to this by God who makes you one, and thank God for it! Let Christ’s message fully live in you. In every wise way teach and instruct one another through psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing praises to God in gratitude and sincerity. Whatever you do, whether in word or action, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, praising God the Father through him.
Above all, love one another, which is the perfect bond that will hold you together.
So kill your worldly nature—sexual sin, immorality, lust, evil desires, greedily wanting to have more—this is the worship of idols.
Husbands, in just the same way, be considerate to your wives as you live together with them. Though she may not be as strong as you are, you should honor her since she will inherit equally with you God’s gift of life. Make sure to do this so nothing will get in the way of your prayers.

Pureza no casamento
Não adulterarás. A impureza sexual destrói alianças e famílias. Deus chama à santidade no matrimônio.
You must not commit adultery.
You must not desire to have anyone else’s house. You must not desire to have their wife, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything else that belongs to them."
However, because of the temptation to sexual immorality, it is better that each man have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
The husband should meet his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife her husband’s. The wife’s body doesn’t just belong to her, but her husband; and similarly the husband’s body doesn’t just belong to him but his wife.
The husband should meet his wife’s sexual needs, and the wife her husband’s. The wife’s body doesn’t just belong to her, but her husband; and similarly the husband’s body doesn’t just belong to him but his wife. So don’t deprive each other, except by mutual consent for a while—for example because you want to spend time in prayer. Afterwards come together again so that Satan won’t tempt you to sin because of your lack of self-control.

Afterwards come together again so that Satan won’t tempt you to sin because of your lack of self-control.
To those who are not yet married, or who are widowed, I would say it is better if they remain like me. But if they lack self-control, then they should get married—for it is better to marry than burn with desire.
These are my instructions to those who are married—in fact not from me but the Lord: The wife should not leave her husband (or if she does, she should not remarry, or she should return to her husband); and the husband should not leave his wife.
For a husband who is not a Christian, the marriage relationship is made holy by the Christian wife, and for a wife who is not a Christian, the marriage relationship is made holy by the Christian husband. Otherwise it would mean your children were impure, but now they are holy.
I would prefer you to be free from such worries. A man who is not married pays attention to what is important to the Lord, and how he can please the Lord. But a man who is married pays attention to what is important in this world, and how he can please his wife. As a result his loyalties are divided. Similarly an unmarried woman or girl pays attention to what is important to the Lord, so she may live a life dedicated both in body and spirit. But a married woman pays attention to what is important in this world, and how she can please her husband.
A wife is bound to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free to marry anyone she wants in the Lord.
Now about what you wrote to me: "It’s good not to marry." However, because of the temptation to sexual immorality, it is better that each man have his own wife, and each woman her own husband.
Stay away from sexual immorality! All other sins that people commit are outside of the body, but sexual immorality is a sin against your own body. Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit that is within you, that you received from God? You don’t belong to yourself—a price was paid for you! So glorify God in your body!
"Food for the stomach, and the stomach for food"—but God will destroy both of them. Also, the body is not meant to be used for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body. By his power God raised the Lord from the dead, and he will raise us up the same way.
Don’t you know those who are unjust will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t be fooled! People who are immoral, worship idols, commit adultery, are sexual perverts, homosexuals, thieves, greedy, drunkards, abusers, or cheats, will not inherit the kingdom of God.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous. Love is not boastful. Love is not proud. Love does not act improperly, or insist on having its own way. Love is not argumentative and doesn’t keep a record of wrongs. Love takes no delight in evil but celebrates the truth. Love never gives up, keeps on trusting, stays confident, and remains patient whatever happens.
Is Christ divided? Did Paul die on a cross for you? Was it in the name of Paul that you were baptized?
I’m grateful to God that I didn’t baptize any of you, except Crispus and Gaius, so nobody can claim they were baptized in my name. (Oh, and I also baptized the Stephanas family—I can’t think of anyone else.) For Christ didn’t send me out to baptize, but to spread the good news, and not with eloquent human wisdom, otherwise the cross of Christ would be made powerless.
I hear reports that sexual immorality is happening among you, immorality that even the foreigners don’t practice. A man is living with his father’s wife! You are so proud of yourselves! Shouldn’t you have wept with sadness, and excluded the man who did this?
Sabedoria conjugal
Acha esposa, acha o bem. Bebe água da tua própria cisterna. A fidelidade conjugal é fonte de bênção permanente.
If you find a wife, that’s great, and you’ll be blessed by the Lord.
If you find a wife, that’s great, and you’ll be blessed by the Lord.
If you find a wife, that’s great, and you’ll be blessed by the Lord.
You inherit a house and wealth from your father, but a sensible wife is a gift from the Lord.
May your spring of water be blessed, and may you enjoy the wife you married when you were young. May she be to you a loving deer, a graceful doe. May her breasts always be intoxicating to you; may you be drunk on her love forever.
For the lips of an immoral woman may taste as sweet as honey, the kisses of her mouth may be as smooth as oil, but in the end what you get from her is the bitterness of wormwood and the sharp pain of being cut with a two-edged sword. She leads you down to death; she takes you down to the grave. She doesn’t follow the path that leads to life—she wanders away and doesn’t even know she’s lost.
Now, my son, listen to me; don’t reject what I have taught you. Stay far away from her! Don’t go near the door of her house! Otherwise you’ll surrender your honor to others, and your character to cruel people.

Stay far away from her! Don’t go near the door of her house! Otherwise you’ll surrender your honor to others, and your character to cruel people. Strangers will spend your wealth; everything you’ve worked for will go to someone else. When you come to the end of your life you’ll moan in pain as disease destroys your body. You’ll say, "How I used to hate discipline, and my mind rebelled against being corrected! I didn’t listen to what my teacher said. I didn’t pay attention to my instructors. Now I’m on the verge of being completely disgraced before everyone in the community."
May she be to you a loving deer, a graceful doe. May her breasts always be intoxicating to you; may you be drunk on her love forever. Why, my son, become intoxicated with an immoral woman? Why embrace the breasts of a woman who acts like a prostitute?
It’s the same for anyone who sleeps with another man’s wife. No one who touches her will remain unpunished.
Any man who commits adultery with a woman has no sense; he who does so destroys himself.
Any man who commits adultery with a woman has no sense; he who does so destroys himself. He will be wounded and dishonored. His disgrace will never be removed. For jealousy makes a husband furious, and he won’t hold back when he takes revenge. He refuses any compensation, and won’t be paid off, however big the amount.
A good wife is a crown for her husband, but one who brings shame is like rot in his bones.
You can plan in your mind what to do, but the Lord will guide you.
It’s better to live in a corner of a housetop than to share a whole house with an argumentative wife.
Who can find a strong, capable wife? She’s worth more than jewels!
Bíblia e casamento
Deus abomina o divórcio. A aliança matrimonial é reflexo da aliança de Deus com seu povo — sagrada e eterna.
Did he not make you one, and give some of his Spirit to you? And what does he want? Children of God. So watch what you do, and don’t be unfaithful to the wife you married when you were young.

Exemplos bíblicos
O Cântico dos Cânticos celebra o amor conjugal. A Bíblia honra o casamento em toda a sua beleza e profundidade.
Stamp my name as a seal on your heart, like a seal on your arm, for love is strong as death, passion as unyielding as the grave—its arrows flash like fire, a blazing flame of the Lord. Floods of water cannot extinguish love; rivers cannot submerge it. If a man offered everything he owned in order to buy love he would be completely rejected.
Woman’s brothers:
Floods of water cannot extinguish love; rivers cannot submerge it. If a man offered everything he owned in order to buy love he would be completely rejected.

Enjoy life with the wife that you love—the one God gave you—during all the days of this brief life, all these passing days whose meaning is so hard to understand as you work here on earth.
Two are better than one, for they can help each other in their work. If one of them falls down, the other can help them up, but how sad it is for someone who falls down and doesn’t have anyone to help them up. In the same way, if two people lie down together, they keep each other warm, but you can’t keep yourself warm if you’re alone. Someone fighting against one other person may win, but not if they are fighting against two. A cord made of three strands can’t be torn apart quickly.
