Scripturally sound and very helpful for Christian Unions.

Elizabeth Actemeier's study of the Christain Marriage is Scriptually sound and practical for any couple seeking guidance in their relationship. From analyzing traditional roles to the sexual relationship, Actemeier is concerned to maintain Christian integrity in Christian unions. Actemeier describes marriage as an instutuition ordained by God for humans beings, his image bearers, to flourish and imitate the love God has and continues to show to his church and the world. The book holds marriage as a wonderful life and is concerned for the loss of love, respect, kindness and equality in marriages.
