Marriage is a gift of God handed down from creation and is protected by the seventh commandment, yet it is under severe attack today. This sacred union was instituted in Eden by God Himself. He who made the first holy pair and who created for them a paradise home has put His seal upon the marriage institution. After the creation of Adam, the Lord said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet (suitable) for him." (Genesis 2:18). This book will deal with a problem that has become paramount within the world, as well as the Christian community. It is a subject that is not touched upon as frequently as it ought to be; especially when we consider the consequences of going contrary to the expressed word and will of God concerning this topic. Because of what is happening to the Divine institution of marriage we will not only be looking at the interactions within the marital relationship, but also aspects leading up to the marriage. We will be considering:1.What to do and not to do in courtship. 2.What to expect in the marriage. 3.What to do when marriage doesn't work out the way we think it should.4.What causes marital dissension and disintegration. 5.What are the options of having entered into a lifelong relationship that may end up being a hellish home, rather than a heavenly haven.

The book Holy Wedlock or Unholy Deadlock encompasses varied phases and facets of a couple?s marital relationship. It invites you to identify, understand and handle realities of marriage that invariably shock almost every couple at one point or the other. Creating a happy marriage is a mysterious process. There is no denying the fact that bonding together a man and a woman, who until now were mostly strangers to each other, is complex and, therefore, cumbersome. It is, indeed, intriguing as to how two distinct individuals merge into a life-partnership. The adjustment required post marriage has more to do with individual compatibility than a messing together of two ways of life. It is important to give each other room to grow and to accept one another for ?who? he or she is. Many couples seeking to heal their acrimonious tiffs and rifts could well find this book talking to them about their own selves and their journey through conjugal life. There is much to take home!
