The record of Boaz marrying Ruth in Ruth 3:9-4:13 shows that marriage is not a relationship which is just drifted into; there must be a specific moment when one becomes fully married. Christ is likened to the bridegroom and the believers to the bride, whom he will 'marry' at his second coming.
Taarifa ya Boazi akimuoa Ruthu katika Ruthu 3:9-4:13 yaonyesha ya kwamba ndoa si uhusiano unaoingizwa tu; inabidi uwepo muda dhahiri wakati mtu anaolewa/oa kabisa. Kristo amelinganishwa na bwana arusi na waumini bi arusi, ambaye atamwoa ajapo mara ya pili.
