So, you’re ready to tie the knot.
Or perhaps you’ve tied it, but you feel the knot becoming frazzled.
Maybe you’ve even begun the untying process. You think there’s nothing to be done for your marriage now.
The Bible says WAIT. No matter where you are in the process, you can enjoy a continuing, better marriage, one that can be a success for you, your spouse, and everyone else involved.
Here are 7 Marriage Guidelines from the Bible to point your relationship to a successful future.

You can do this. God’s Word tells you how. The next step is up to you.
Step out on the Word. Your success is within your grasp.
