
Marriage was never intended to be a mere written
agreement between two parties that protects one
another’s interests. That’s a contract, but marriage is a
covenant.

God and faithful obedience to Him must be at the
heart of this covenant.

Marriage is God’s design, not man’s.

Marriage should be a model of Christ and the church.
It takes three to make a marriage. Christ makes
Christian marriage a three-dimensional affair.
