It’s more than human romance-Marriage

Marriage is the intimate union and equal partnership of a man and a woman. It comes to us from God who created man and woman in his image, to unite them to be one body and might be fertile and multiply. Man and woman are equal as God children, and they are created with important differences that allow them to give themselves and to receive the other gift. God purposes for marriage are related to the fall of Satan, God gives three mandates for Christian marriage to reflect, reign, and reproduce. Satan works hard to keep Christians from accomplishing them.

The purpose of the Marriage
