What God Has Joined Togther is founded on the words of Jesus: "He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh" (from Matthew 19:4, 5).

When placed in the proper context of Scripture, these words form a marvelous conceptual definition of marriage with seven distinct elements. The authors name these seven concepts: the principles of personhood, paradise, equality, "help-meet companionship," leaving, cleaving, and sexuality.

Hopefully, loving couples desiring deeper passion, lover, contentment, and fulfullment will discover anew the joys of paradise restored through the wonderful grace of covenant-commentment, forgivness, and faith. At the same time, hopefully, counselors of engaged couples and marriage counselors of troubled relationships will find Bible-based guidance for couples and biblical hope and restoration for threatened homes.
