Biblical Betrothal
"Our goal is to inspire you to
challenge your own presuppositions and biases, and honestly assess whether or not
what your culture has taught you about romance and marriage truly lines up with
the precepts and statutes of God’s Word."
"...Everyone has a worldview. Whether or not we realize it, we all have certain presuppositions and biases that affect the way we view all of life and reality. A worldview is like a set of lenses which taint our vision or alter the way we perceive the world around us. Our worldview is formed by our education, our upbringing, the culture we live in, the books we read, the media and movies we absorb, etc. For many people their worldview is simply something they have absorbed by osmosis from their surrounding cultural influences. They have never thought strategically about what they believe and wouldn't be able to give a rational defense of their beliefs to others...." What is a Biblical worldview? What is your worldview? (Israel Wayne's apologetics website)
Matthew and Maranatha Chapman have a wonderful personal testimony of their Scriptural betrothal. They also have teaching on the analogy of Christ and the Bride (the ultimate betrothal).
