MARRIAGE IS CRAFTED NOT GIVEN

Description

This book hints the reader that there are laws and principles that govern everything in life, for example, the law of rotation that causes the sun to rise from the east in the morning and set in the west by evening. Similarly, marriage as an institution is governed by principles and laws that must be consistently adhered to for success by its subscribers. The book teaches that marriage is one of the profound creations of God, and yet complex and consequential in human society. Its duality portrays it as personal but also communal, spiritual but also practical, private and yet public by which its success or failure does not rest with the couple involved alone. This is why its subscribers must do so with depth, humility, wisdom and responsibility.

The book made careful attempts not to romanticize marriage on one hand or demonize it on the other hand but rather presented marriage as a discipline, a commitment and a learning journey. It tackled varied thorny issues pertaining to marriage in various cultures and offered practical theological and psychological as well as biological approaches in nibbing them in the bud.
