Here is a copy of a resolution I am proposing to my denomition:

HOLY MATRIMONY RESOLUTION

 

PURPOSE:  TO ASSIGN A MEANINGFUL TERM TO THE BIBLICAL UNION OF ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN

 

WHEREAS:  THE SCRIPTURES CALL FOR THE BASIC UNIT OF SOCIETY TO BE THE UNION OF ONE MAN WITH ONE WOMAN. (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6, Ephesians 5:31, 1Timothy 3:2, 12)

 

WHEREAS:  SECULAR SOCIETY IS CHANGING THE TERM “MARRIAGE” INTO A VAGUE TERM THAT APPLIES TO THE UNION OF ANY TWO OR MORE BEINGS RENDERING IT VIRTUALLY MEANINGLESS TO THE BIBLICALLY BASED BODY OF CHRIST.

 

BE IT RESOLVED THAT:  FROM NOW ON, OUR DENOMINATION USE THE TERM “HOLY MATRIMONY” WHEN SPEAKING OF THE BIBLICAL UNION OF ONE MAN WITH ONE WOMAN.
