The Beauty of Marriage.
Mark 10:8-9 And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. Marriage is a beautiful picture of God’s love for the Church. When a man and a woman make a vow to be faithful to each…
