Publisher's Description

A wealth of practical, Biblical, and uncompromising material on the family.

"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh" -Genesis 2:24

Marriage is an institution of peculiar importance. It is of divine ordination, and almost coeval with the existence of the human race. It is the origin of families; the source of the continuance and welfare of nations. It distinguishes man from the brute creation, excludes the disorders of licentiousness, and cherishes the sweetest affections of the heart. There is no union, the quality of which is so intimate, the obligation of which is so binding, the consequences of which are so momentous. It even surpasses natural relation, “what God hath joined together let not man put asunder” (Matt.19:6).
