Bible Text: Exodus 20:14 & Genesis 2:15–25 | Preacher: Pastor Peter Gregory | Why should God be so dogmatic about marriage? Why is the union of husband and wife, and their faithfulness, so important to Him? Marriage matters to God because it points beyond itself to something bigger, to something huge! “This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the Church” (Eph 5:32).
