MARRIAGE

We believe the term “marriage” is reserved for the formalized covenant relationship between one man and one woman who commit themselves through legal declaration to exclusive, intimate companionship and sexual union with the intention of permanence. Marriage is monogamous, heterosexual, and intended for life. (This statement is taken from the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches in Canada “Policy Statement on Marriage and Human Sexuality”. Adopted by the Fellowship February 22, 2007)   Gen 2; Mk 10:5-12; Eph 5:22-33
