Purposes of Marriage
The Bible begins with a wedding and it ends with a wedding; the greatest love song in human literature is in the center, and Christ’s first miracle sanctifies a wedding, and yet, a leading authority on marriage J. Allan Petersen, says, “at least 75 percent of all marriages are failures.”



婚姻的意義


全本聖經以婚姻起首，亦以婚姻結束。人類文學裡最偉大的情歌在聖經中間位置，而耶穌基督在迦拿的婚宴行了第一個神跡，使婚禮更顯神聖，但可惜，著名的婚姻權威愛倫．彼德森(J. Allan Petersen)說過，至少百份之七十五的婚姻都是失敗的。
