A sermon preached in 1820 by William Gadsby, in which he teaches the Biblical principles of marriage in a direct and pastoral manner. He describes the love and care which should characterise all true marriages, outlines the damaging effects of breaking this union, and concludes with a wonderful depiction of the union between Christ and the church of which marriage is designed to be a representation. Included at the end are a selection of Gadsby’s poetical pieces on marriage, written in his characteristic style. This book will be particularly valuable for young people considering and preparing for marriage, and a blessing to all God’s people as they meditate with Gadsby on the love of Christ for his bride.
