Marriage Made in Heaven? 3 “Leaving, Cleaving & Weaving”

Marriage Made in Heaven? 3 “Leaving, Cleaving & Weaving”

Mar 13, 2023

Today we’ll zero in on, arguably, God’s clearest and most definitive statement on marriage. It’s the one statement about marriage that God makes four times (Gen. 2.24; Matt. 19.5; Mk. 10.7-8; Eph. 5.31) in the Bible. He said it once in the Old Testament, three times in the New, once before the fall, and three times after. It was and is God’s plan and purpose for marriage in a nutshell.
