Through day-to-day life, marriage is constantly highlighting and rubbing against our rough edges as we enter into deeper covenant with our spouses. Through its ups and downs, it becomes a living picture of the gospel - two people living in an unbreakable covenant with one another. In Malachi, God addresses the breakdown of marriage among the Israelites of that day, namely in their infidelity. He reminds the men, “do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth.” In speaking of divorce, he even writes that the man who leaves his wife “does violence to the one he should protect.”
