ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the early Quaker belief that their marriages helped demonstrate and define their exodus from the wilderness. It discusses the restoration of unity between the divine and the created was demonstrated in part by the early Quaker marriage approbation process, including the Quaker requirements that the couple have a sense' of being commanded by God to marry through an inner connection with the inward light, and that the marriage be approbated in unity. In 1655, George Fox had already developed the notion of the emergence of the True Church in a letter, he wrote to all Professors of the new age coming forth. Like Fox, Margaret Fell also regarded unity with the divine and the coming of the True Church as inseparable. The state of matrimony for Quakers provided one modus operandi for the restored unity or matrimony between the divine and the true church coming up from the wilderness of exile.
