The Puritans on Marriage


Joel Beeke


The Puritans believed that God’s purposes in marriage are partnership (mutual comfort, support, and encouragement), procreation (childbearing and child-rearing), and purity (preventing adultery and fornication through joyful intimacy within marriage). They grounded marriage on two major scriptural principles: the Christ-church principle and the covenantal principle. These principles were the primary factors behind the orderliness, stability, and happiness of Puritan marriages.
