God's Formula for the Family
Jerry Vines
Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4-6
God has a very interesting kind of mathematics in this passage. The Lord says that in marriage one plus one equals one. He said you take a man and you take a woman and the two become one. There in that little formula which God has given is the formula for success in a marital relationship.

I used to make fun and I used to say well how absurd that people get divorces on the bases of incompatibility. Yet I have come to understand the scripture that this is exactly the reas ...
