Love, Marriage and Commitment

Hebrews 13:4
Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

• 1 out of 50 marriages end in divorce if the couple had a church wedding.


• 1 out of 105 marriages end in divorce if the couple attends church regularly.


• 1 out of 1,155 marriages end in divorce if the couple attends church regularly and has family devotions.

Foundation: God’s plan

Genesis 2:
v.23 - It was to be a relationship of ONENESS AND INTIMACY
v.24 - It was to be EXCLUSIVE, AND ENDURING.
v.25 - It is to be PURE AND INNOCENT.
