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