‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Genesis 2:24
Research is revealing that television is not as popular as it used to be. Even though we have cable stations where we can get over 1000 different channels from around the globe, in every conceivable language, people are turning to different types of media (mainly downloading or streaming) to watch what they want. So, in an effort to grab new audiences, programmers have to dream up programs which will lure in the inquisitive viewer, even if the title seems ludicrous.
One such program that was brought to my attention was ‘Married at first sight’. This is a show which originated in the USA and now has been copied throughout many different nations. The concept is simple; individuals put their details into a computer databank and a behaviour psychologist chooses a compatible match. These two individuals then do not see each other until the bride walks down the aisle. Yes, you heard me, until the bride walks down the aisle and says “I do!”
So, this is what is called entertainment nowadays. The first assault on marriage was the introduction of same sex relations being viewed in the same light as marriage. Now marriage does not even warrant a courtship or relationship.
Less we forget, marriage was instituted by God in the bible. ‘This explains why (key text) a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’
As Christians, we too have a role in promoting what the bible has to say on such topics. So, if you have the chance point someone to the bible today.
