ABOUT THIS BOOK What is the place of marriage in the wide setting of God's purpose for the whole of creation? In marriage we are tapping into the revealed secret of God's purpose for the whole universe and we are giving very practical expression to it. What is marriage and what is it for? What is the place in marriage of sexual attraction and appreciation of each other between a man and a woman? Is there a rightful ordering of relationships in marriage? How sustainable is marriage in the 'real' world of today? What of marriage breakdown, and the alternative reconstituting of relationships? What about family life and bringing up children? Martin Bleby, married to Vivien, with children and grandchildren, ordained in the Anglican Church, has prepared many couples for marriage, and officiated at many weddings in country, outback and metropolitan South Australia. He now exercises a teaching ministry, at the service of all the churches. |
