One of the paradoxes of marriage is that there are as many who desire to get into as there are who seek an exit from their troubled marriages. But why is it so complex that when you think you've gotten a handle on it, it seems to slip away? Marriage is such a beautiful thing. And God meant it to be so. And like everything else that He created, it was flawless and fit for His purposes.

One of the paradoxes of marriage is that there are as many who desire to get into as there are who seek an exit from their troubled marriages. But why is it so complex that when you think you've gotten a handle on it, it seems to slip away? Marriage is such a beautiful thing. And God meant it to be so. And like everything else that He created, it was flawless and fit for His purposes. In its pristine condition in the Garden of Eden, the institution of marriage, as exemplified by Adam and his wife Eve, was a demonstration of God's glory. When Adam set his eyes on Eve for the first time, he could not hide his excitement. He remarks, " This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh ." (Genesis 2:23) He perceived their inseparableness. They were one. They were at heart and in mind. Enter the devil, and all changed. The once beautiful relationship between Adam and Eve experiences its first challenge and faultfinding sets in. Adam accuses: " The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate ." (Genesis 3:12) Isn't that a familiar script: that the honeymoon soon gives way to strife, accusations, arguments, infightings, stonewalling, hopelessness, disillusionment, and regrets? Many marriages end in divorce, while many others remain troubled and shaky. Is there hope for the marriage institution? Why haven't psychology, neuroscience, psychiatry, and religion offered a one-for-all solution for marital problems? Are marriages doomed to fail? There is indeed hope for marriages. God intends for every couple to survive every challenge so that they may glorify His name. And " what God has joined together, let no man separate ." (Mark 10:9) Would God insist on you staying put in something hopeless? Certainly not! Every marriage needs God. He is its author. Couples, therefore, should submit under His authority and follow His counsel. Marriage is more spiritual than emotional. And what is spiritual requires spiritual solutions. The world cannot understand marriage. What is spiritual makes no sense to them; it is foolishness (1 Corinthians 2:14). They have relied on science to explain it, yet no one seems to have a grip on it. So long as believers continue to rely only on science to understand marriage, they will remain in darkness. This book takes you through a journey of discovery. It unveils to you the spiritual truths that you need to navigate the seemingly difficult paths of marriage.
