I Thee Wed: Jesus' Teaching On Marriage And Divorce Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Apr 16, 2021

Jesus taught that marriage is a sacred and serious undertaking by any man and woman who want to unite as one under the protection and direction of the LORD. We tend to make it less than God's ideal for us.
