Marriage is a Christian sacrament and covenant relationship between two people that should not be entered into lightly. Too often, couples romanticize this union and get swept up in all the planning and excitement of their wedding day, without giving much, if any, thought to what comes after the "I do's" are said and the rings exchanged. This is why Biblical Marriage is a must-have for every couple planning on joining their lives together. How does God's Word describe a marriage that is blessed by God and brings Him glory? In these pages, the authors-two pastors and their wives-break this down in succinct detail, leaving nothing out. The topics they address are: God's purpose for marriage, the meaning of leaving and cleaving, marriage as a covenant and not a contract, being equally yoked as believers, leadership and love, sexuality, pornography, communication, prayer, money, and church. The authors' desire is that readers understand and take seriously what God's Word has to say regarding marriage so they can gain wisdom and enjoy the blessing of a biblical marriage, even through seasons of struggle.
