The method used is literature study using secondary sources including books and articles discussing Christian marriage, and new discoveries according to related aspects. The results showed that the concept of Christian marriage can be seen from three categories, namely juridical, sociological, and humanistic. The juridical aspect is related to divine provisions where God's will for marriage is monogamous, indivisible, procreative, and heterosexual. The sociological aspect is related to the intersection of Christian marriage with the public, where marriage needs to be recognized by the community and has a positive influence on society. The humanist aspect is related to humans which includes psychological and sexual dimensions, because humans are created to have an integrated physical and mental aspect.
