This chapter presents firstly that the Bible teaches that God has designed the institution of marriage to be the primary human relationship. Second, this chapter presents marriage as an institution based on covenantal principles. Third, this chapter contends that God designed marriage to provide intimacy between husbands and wives. Fourth, this chapter argues that God established marriage to function according to the roles he established in his Word.
Chapter 3 focuses on the theoretical, practical, historical, and developmental factors pertaining to marriage enrichment.
