ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the triple principle of marriage in Daniel S. Gregory’s Christian Ethics(1915), and it’s mutual connection with Forms of Marriage and Burial(1924) and The Constitution of the Korean Presbyterian Church(1922). The key points could be summarized as follows: Firstly, I attempted to explain ‘marriage as a promise between couples’ such as the bride and groom’s free will, the injustice of incestuous marriage, a healthy body and mind, the husband’s ability to lead the family, and the love between couples. Secondly, I concentrated on significant points for ‘a monogamous marriage between couples’ such as true love between couples, family education, family peace, child rearing, order of creation, and marriage in the Lord. Thirdly, I treated with ‘marriage as a lifelong obligation between couples’ such as lifelong covenant, marital integrity, love, and cooperation. Fourthly, I suggested the practical implications for today’s Korean Christians such as the divorce problem, marriage theology, marital theology, and home theology.
