What makes a marriage? What is family? Where does divorce fit in?

Over the past 50 years, the answers to these questions have changed. Having experienced a period of uncertainty and confusion concerning marriage and family, Michael wanted to know God's truth. The Permanency of Marriage explores what the Bible has to say about marriage: its beginnings, its purposes, its duration.


When compared to today's elastic and confused views of marriage and family, The Permanency of Marriage gives the reader a renewed understanding of what the Bible says about marriage, family, and divorce. Written for the serious student of the Scriptures, Berner sequentially takes the reader through the Bible, discussing the common passages on marriage and family as well as those passages most others avoid.
