  6. Saying I Do to theConceptof Marriage

  7. 1 Peter 3:7 Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

  8. Saying I Do to theCircumstancesof Marriage

  9. Saying I Do to theCovenantof Marriage

  10. Covenant Marriages Too many people today view marriage as a legal contract. Contracts are based on rights and responsibilities and are motivated by self-centeredness rather that on unconditional love. A legal contract is necessary to begin and like wise to end a marriage. But a covenant is more than a contract. 10

  11. Covenant Marriages It is more than a legal document declaring a state of interdependence. The value of a ‘covenant marriage relationship’ as opposed to a ‘contractual marriage agreement’ lies in a person’s understanding and acceptance of God’s intent for marriage and the importance of His presence in the marriage. 11
