Marriage consists of the triangular cords of love and covenant between God, man and woman. The cord between a man and his wife alone cannot sustain marriage without God.
“…and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” – Ecclesiastes 4: 12
“… What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” – Matthew 19: 6
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in Me… for without Me ye can do nothing.” – John 15: 4-5
