"Why do we say, "...'til death do us part" in every marriage ceremony? Because marriage is a unilateral covenant, not simply a bilateral contract." In his life-changing book, Marriage: Covenant or Contract, Craig Hill defines a blood covenant as "the closest, most sacred, most enduring, binding agreement known to men...such a covenant is virtually never broken. It was such a sacred commitment that a man would die before he would dishonor himself by breaking a covenant." (p. 3)
Numerous married couples have been blessed and hurting marriages have been restored at Family Foundations Covenant Marriage Retreats.
