Produktbeschreibung

Marriage is not merely a human arrangement-it is a divine union with eternal consequences.

In Marriage: Heirs Together, veteran Bible teacher and longtime Baptist pastor Marvin McKenzie examines one of the most overlooked phrases in the New Testament regarding marriage: "heirs together of the grace of life" (1 Peter 3:7).

This careful, Scripture-driven study moves beyond cultural assumptions and sentimental views of marriage and asks a sobering question: What if marriage reaches farther into eternity than we have ever considered?

Drawing from Genesis, the Gospels, the Epistles, and the words of Christ Himself, McKenzie shows that marriage was never designed to be temporary, casual, or spiritually neutral. From the beginning, God declared husband and wife to be one flesh-a union so real that Scripture compares it to Christ's relationship with His church.

This book explores:

• Why God designed marriage as a one-flesh union
• How marriage reflects Christ and the church
• What it means to be heirs together of the grace of life
• How a husband's treatment of his wife affects prayer and spiritual effectiveness
• The possible connection between marriage and eternal reward
• What Scripture really teaches about marriage and eternity
• Why marriage must be taken seriously in a culture that treats it lightly

Rather than offering pop-psychology or self-help advice, Marriage: Heirs Together grounds every conclusion firmly in the Word of God. The book avoids speculation while still addressing difficult questions many believers quietly wonder about-especially concerning divorce, faithfulness, and accountability before God.

McKenzie writes with the clarity of a pastor and the conviction of a Bible teacher who has spent decades counseling couples, teaching Scripture, and watching the real-life consequences of how marriage is handled within the church.

This is not a romantic book. It is not a casual book. It is a biblical book.

Whether you are married, preparing for marriage, or counseling others, Marriage: Heirs Together will challenge you to see marriage not merely as part of life-but as part of God's eternal design.

Marriage matters. Marriage reflects Christ. Marriage carries spiritual weight.

And those who are married are, according to Scripture, heirs together of the grace of life.
