Synopsis: Marriage is a life-long covenanted relationship. God has demonstrated in various relationships the necessity of separation and also the work that is required to maintain a relationship. In our marriages, we are to be like our Father. Although marriage is allowed only in the case of unfaithfulness, it is not required.
