The Treatise of the Faith and Practices of the [[National Association of Free Will Baptists]] (the largest of the Free Will Baptist denominations) states that "[b]oth Scripture and nature as designed by God affirm the life-long, covenantal union of one man, being male as created by God, and one woman, being female as created by God, in a one-flesh relationship. This one-flesh relationship is emblematic of the union of Christ and His church. It is the sole and beautiful context of the divine plan for the biblical marriage of man and woman as imagebearers of God, as well as the foundation for the family as the basic, divinely ordained unit of human society. Violations of this one-flesh union, whether heterosexual or homosexual, premarital or extramarital, contravene the divine plan for the family and for the conception and rearing of children, bringing spiritual despair, guilt, and death to individuals and cultures."<ref>[https://nafwb.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/2016-FWB-Treatise.pdf A Treatise of the Faith and Practices of the National Association of Free Will Baptists, Inc., Part II, Chapter IV Amendment adopted July 2008.]</ref>
