MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT

“For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are nomoretwain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, letno man put asunder.”1 “Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Wives, submit yourselves unto your husbands,as it fits in the Lord.”2

Marriage is a holy institution established by God and bonded in holiness, oneness,love, and submission.To ensurethat this unionincreasingly enjoys a holy relationship, oneness, love, and submission from the day you arejoined together until death do you part, WLT develops marriage enrichment.
