Uma só carne
O conceito de 'uma só carne' é o fundamento bíblico do casamento. Desde a criação, Deus uniu homem e mulher em uma aliança indissolúvel de amor, compromisso e intimidade.
A instituição divina do casamento
Deus criou o homem e a mulher e os uniu em aliança. O casamento é obra de Deus, e o que Ele juntou não separe o ser humano.
He answered them, "Have you not read that he who made them from the beginning ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
But from the beginning of creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.’ So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."
O mistério da união
Paulo ensina que a união conjugal é um grande mistério que aponta para Cristo e a Igreja. A intimidade reflete a comunhão espiritual plena.
In the same way husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one has ever hated his own flesh, but he nourishes and cares for it, just as the Lord does for the church, because we are members of his body, of his flesh and of his bones. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh." This is a profound mystery, but I am talking about Christ and the church. Nevertheless, each man among you must love his own wife as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then pt ¦ make the members of Christ 𝔐pttake the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Certainly not! Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one with her in body? For it says, "The two will become one flesh." But he who is joined to the Lord is one with him in spirit.
Fidelidade e alegria
A aliança conjugal exige fidelidade, respeito e dedicação mútua. A Bíblia celebra a alegria da intimidade dentro do casamento.
Above all, put on love, which is the bond of perfection. Let the peace of God rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.
Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each of you must speak the truth with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.
