The Marriage Dilemma: God, the Bible, and Marriage

Many Bible-believing Christians have been led to believe that marriage is simply about two people learning to happily coexist and enjoy each other's company. Romance, teamwork, and maybe a kid or two. But what does God say? What, if anything, is marriage actually supposed to look like - from a Biblical perspective? The world tells us that marriage can look like any number of things. Sadly, many voices in the Church are trying to avoid controversy by simply encouraging men and women to pursue non-specific generalities regarding marriage. For many who have listened to such advice, the Biblical model is no longer relevant or acceptable. In reality, the Bible is very specific because God is very specific. The Biblical model is not outdated and it is not so complex that it cannot be understood and obeyed. Marriage was created by God to provide security, enjoyment, and ultimately, to be a visible expression of who He is, as well as to represent the relationship between Himself and His bride, the Church. This book examines the current situation, discusses what the Bible actually says, and encourages the practical application of God's plan for both husband and wife within the marriage covenant.
