Circumstances Alter Cases: Marriage, Divorce, A New Marriage: The Ideal, The Real and the Reality

Marriage was never intended to be temporary it was created as a sacred covenant reflecting the heart of God. Yet in today's broken world, relationships often face pain, betrayal, separation, and loss. How should believers respond when life's circumstances seem to challenge God's original design?

In Circumstances Alter Cases, Dr. Dean Lashington presents a thoughtful, biblically grounded exploration of marriage, divorce, and remarriage through the lenses of Scripture, theology, research, and lived experience.
