^{Excerpt from Lasting Love by Alistair Begg:}

The original plan of marriage was God’s idea. Marriage is of divine origin. It is not, as many young people choose to believe, an institution that human beings dreamed up.

It is therefore imperative that we begin by understanding and submitting ourselves to what the Bible teaches concerning the origin of marriage. At the same time it is vital that we understand the purposes for which God has ordained marriage.

In this series, we are reminded that God is the author of marriage and has provided wonderfully practical instruction for single people, husbands, and wives alike. Alistair Begg offers useful biblical advice on finding a spouse, preparing for the wedding day, and building a marriage that lasts a lifetime. Relationships are a fact of life, but no human relationship should be a distraction or hindrance to our commitment to Jesus Christ. God’s Word helps us to guard against allowing our emotions to control how we live out our lives and guides us into relationships that glorify Him.
