Quick thought for Blended Marriages: Words Matter!

I cringe a lot when I hear Christians introduce their spouse as their “partner.”

That word didn’t come from Scripture.

It came from culture, and culture sneaks in quietly.

A partner implies negotiable roles, equitable alignment, and most importantly an exit strategy if the arrangement stops working.

The title of husband and wife implies covenant, order, and responsibility.

Marriage in Scripture isn’t two people entering an LLC.

It's two people becoming one flesh under God.

“For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” (Ephesians 5:31)

Culture constantly tries to rewrite what God already defined.

When we adopt the language, we slowly adopt the thinking, and blended families feel that drift faster than most.

This isn’t about being picky.

It’s about guarding covenant.

Call it what God calls it.

Your marriage deserves it.
