XXXVI. WE believe Marriage is God's holy Ordinance,¹ that is to say between one Man and one Woman:² and that no Man ought to have more than one Wife at once:³ and that Believers that marry, should marry in the Lord,⁴ or such that are Believers, or Godly Persons; and that those who do otherwise,⁵ sin greatly, in violating God's holy Precept: and that Ministers as well as others may marry;⁶ for Marriage is honourable in all.
