Summary

R.C. Sproul argues that marriage is a divine covenant regulated by God’s commandments, not merely a social convention. He emphasizes that violating these biblical regulations is an act of defiance against divine authority, which stems from God’s wisdom and benevolence. Sproul distinguishes between temporary pleasure found in sin and the lasting happiness that comes from obedience to God’s design for marriage.
