God’s intent. God’s design. God’s great mystery. That is marriage! And that’s why the world cannot understand it. Yet for the same reason, followers of Christ can trust the marriage covenant. Two become one and God’s image is expressed in its fullness. Here is cause for rejoicing. Here is grounds for confidence. Enter into Gary Fraley’s tribute of appreciation to this Scriptural institution and be reminded of what it really is in God’s eyes.
