• Irrevocable
• In-dissolvable
• a commitment valid until death
• Sealed in blood
• Not dependent on performance.
Contract
• Agreement between 2 parties
• Dependent on the performance of each
party
• If one fails to perform satisfactorily – the
other party may cancel!
• Robe
• Belt
• Sacrifices
• Terms
• Names
Scar / Ring
• Meal
• Memorial

LOVE DOES NOT SUSTAIN A MARRIAGE
THE MARRIAGE COVENANT SUSTAINS LOVE
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not
self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always
trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8 Love never fails.
