The Road To The Ultimate In Marriage - Paperback

by G. Michael Cocoris (Author)

As many married couples have discovered, marriage didn't turn out to be what they expected, which provokes questions. For example, what is the definition of marriage? Obviously, it is a legal contract that can be broken by annulment or divorce. To be more specific, it is a legal agreement to live together as husband and wife. Is that the definition of marriage? Is that all there is to marriage? Obviously not! What else is involved in the very definition of marriage?

Being legally married and even being happily married to a degree isn't all there is to marriage as God intended for it to be. From the very beginning, God had a concept of what marriage was to be. He no sooner created man than he immediately created woman, instructing. "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they should become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). What is involved in "becoming one flesh?"

Beyond the original statement concerning marriage made in the opening chapters of the Bible, in passage after passage, God describes what He intended for marriage to be. If a married couple practiced all God said concerning marriage, they would experience the ultimate in marriage.

In The Road to the Ultimate in Marriage, G. Michael Cocoris explains every major passage in the Bible on marriage. He begins by describing the essence of marriage. After a chapter on the ultimate in marriage, he explains the passages addressed to the husband and wife, individually. Then, there are chapters on preventing juvenile delinquency and rearing a juvenile disciple. When all of God's principles for marriage are practiced, a couple experiences the ultimate of what God intended marriage to be, as the last chapter so clearly explains.

This book should be read by all who plan to get married someday, preferably before they meet that "special one" they intend to marry. Because so many married couples are not experiencing the ultimate in marriage, this book is profitable for those already married.
