Covenant of Marriage

The world is attempting to redefine Marriage in accord with every-shifting cultural views. In the Christian community there is confusion about God’s plan, or whether or not one exists. In sharp contrast, God has had a specific plan for Marriage from the beginning, a plan founded on the reality which defines a Covenant relationship—the sharing and merger of identity and nature, termed a “one-flesh” elationship in the Scriptures.Building on the understanding of Covenant developed in Volume One of this series, Volume Two contrasts the outcome of our culture’s approach to love, intimacy, and Marriage with God’s plan.God has a detailed plan to build the best Marriages, ones which fulfill the deepest desires of our hearts. This plan instructs us on how to treat each other so as to build the strongest hearts toward each other, but there is far more. God has built mechanisms within us, as well as drives and desires, which His plan coordinates into an effective approach to produce mutual growth and transformation in the context of a safe, supportive relationship. God’s plan is designed to develop people capable of loving for a lifetime across through all the challenges of family life.
