Marriage fundamentals: a covenant union
Marriage Fundamentals A COENANT UNION
by Sonny Gara (Author), Ruramai Gara (Author) IS MARRIAGE STILL AN HONOURABLE INSTITUTION?
Why get married when there is so much divorce?
I want to get married “How Do I Know My Spouse?”
Everyone is having sex, why wait?
**Marriage Fundamentals: A Covenant Union** calls readers back to God’s original design for marriage—as revealed in Scripture—at a time when the foundations of marital truth have been trampled, redefined, and neglected. This book confronts confusion, compromise, and silence within the church and restores marriage to its rightful place as a holy, sanctified covenant.
Drawing from biblical foundations, personal testimony, and over 33 years of marriage, this book explores marriage as God ordained it—beginning in Genesis with Adam and Eve and unfolding through Scripture as a prophetic picture of Christ and the Church. It addresses why marriage is under attack, the purpose of sex within covenant, the power of unity, and the consequences of departing from God’s design.
This book covers:
- The Origin of Marriage and God’s intention from the beginning
- Choosing a Spouse
- How to Meet and Identify Your Spouse
- Why You Should Involve God in Choosing a Spouse
- *Premarital Conduct* for protection, purity, and honour
