Why Would Anyone Get Married?
Why would anyone get married? If marriage is simply a civil union, that is a legitimate question. However, God’s plan for marriage is much more than a license or “piece of paper”! You are invited to discover the marvels of Biblical marriage as sociologist David Ayers outlines a well-reasoned argument for God’s plan for husbands, wives, and families. The rewards are rich, in this life and for all eternity!
