Christian Marriage

What is the author's main point or theme?

The author's main point or theme is that Christian Theology should continue to encourage Christian marriage for Christian couples because Christian marriage is vital.

Comment on how effective the thesis is based on the evidence that follows.

The thesis is effective based on the evidence that follows, provided the reader accepts all the writer's statements as accurate. The reader must accept the writer's concept of sin and limited Christian-focused reasons and benefits of Christian marriage in order to accept his position that Christian marriage is vital. If, on the other hand, the reader does not accept the writer's Church-centric reasons, benefits and/or reliance on the Church-espoused concept of "sin," then the writer's thesis is ineffective.

While the writer does emphasize some positive aspects of Christian marriage, there seems to be such emphasis on sin that it overshadows the uplifting, unifying, loving, positive aspects of marriage.

5. What details are not supported with the author's conclusions and reflection?

The author's conclusions and reflections do not support several concepts that free, sane adults have learned on their life journeys. The writer makes two astonishing statements that run contrary to free, sane adult experience and observation. First, the writer states, "There have been no basis for community and family without marriage. Society would not be how it is today and relationships may not even exist." That is nonsense, for at least two reasons: there is no evidence that formal marriage always existed, yet relationships and society occurred, existed and grew;….....
