Marriage as it was intended

“In the last two decades, literally thousands of books on the subject of marriage have appeared. Many of them have been written by Christians and are intended for Christians. So why another book on marriage?

Unfortunately, the focus of most books is not the Bible, but more and more modern psychology, various relationship and communication techniques. At the same time, the divorce rate among couples who call themselves Christians continues to rise, almost equaling the divorce rate among nonbelievers! What is the answer?

“In the beginning, God created… marriage.” The answer lies not in human wisdom, but in the eternal truths of God’s Word. In the book “Marriage as it was intended,” Ken Ortiz presents clear, simple, and applicable principles for understanding God’s design and purpose for marriage in the modern world.

“…If husbands and wives related to each other at least as the Bible teaches us to relate to complete strangers, then the state of most marriages would improve instantly.” The problem for many Christians is that they simply do not know what is written in the Bible and how it applies in the most important areas of their lives.”

Ken Ortiz is the pastor of the “Chapel on Golgotha” church in Spokane, Washington.
Before he became a pastor in Spokane in 1983, he served as a pastor in marriage ministry at the “Chapel on Golgotha” in Costa Mesa, California.
