Love Captivated: A Return to Emulating a Biblical Marriage

by Frantz Lamour, Djenny Lamour

Overview

Our marriage affects all of our other relationships. God created marriage as a foundation for human civilization, and our relationships with family members, friends, co-workers, and others would not exist without the institution of marriage. Yet we are not born husbands and wives. God made Adam and Eve male and female with the potential to become husband and wife. It is unrealistic to expect marriage to thrive without first teaching men and women how to become good marriage partners. In Love Captivated, husband-and-wife team Frantz and Djenny Lamour help us learn biblical principles that reveal God's definition of husband and wife. God provides everything we need to have marriages that please Him in the way we relate to one another. He gives us Jesus as our perfect role model, the Holy Spirit as our power, and the Bible as our marriage manual. Marriage is designed to be a reflection of our relationship with God. And a loving, healthy biblical marriage will improve all of our other relationships.
