In this publication the author takes us through the Bible to discern what God's plan for marriage initially was, how the fall into sin has twisted marriage, and how God's plan has been restored through the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. In the process he discusses the role of husband and wife in marriage, the place of sexual intimacy, the timing and size of the family, the impact of immorality on marriage, and so much more. Writing from a Dutch context, he concludes that the church's time-tested Form for the Solemnization of Marriage accurately summarizes God's answers to the many questions facing those who marry today.
