About this title

From the Author:

Are we ready to count the cost of what it takes to build a marriage over decades? Are we ready to consider whether we have the strength to stand against the army of darkness that will come against our marriage union? Are we aware that the strength will come only when our relationship with Christ is prioritized above all?

A covenant pledge to Christ is not to be entered into lightly. In like manner, choosing to spend the rest of our earthly days in a marriage covenant with one person requires a skillful and wise decision-making process.

Our prayer is that young couples in the body of Christ would soberly approach the marriage covenant and invest the necessary time in preparation for a lifelong partnership.
