In his new book Covenant Marriage, Dr. Lowery points out that God designed marriage to be a covenant relationship. God knew that a contract, easily cancelled, would not sustain the pain of a flawed marriage. God knew that the inevitable hurts and hassles, storms and struggles, difficulties and disappointments would tear at the heart of a contractual agreement and it would disintegrate into a thousand pieces scattered along a trail of hurt, horror and hell. Covenant marriage is far more than a legal contract. It is a spiritual binding of the hearts and a mystical connection where two people become one in a relational covenant that is broken only by death.
