Parable of Marriage

THE PARABLE OF MARRIAGE

What if the first marriage God is trying to restore is not merely between a husband and wife-but within the human being?

From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture repeatedly returns to the language of bride, bridegroom, covenant, faithfulness, becoming one, fruitfulness, preparation, and the marriage supper. Are these only pictures of earthly marriage, or is earthly marriage itself revealing a greater spiritual pattern?

In The Parable of Marriage, Dr. Marlene Miles invites readers to examine familiar passages through a different lens. This is not a book about controlling a spouse. It is a book about governing the inner person under the Lordship of Christ.

Inside you will explore:

- The relationship between spirit, soul, and flesh.
- Why your soul is your jurisdiction.
- The difference between a governed and an ungoverned soul.
- Why projection keeps us examining everyone except ourselves.
- The biblical pattern of government, stewardship, and fruitfulness.
- Why Scripture continually returns to marriage imagery from Genesis to Revelation.
- The question every believer must eventually answer:
Can I trust my own soul?

Rather than asking readers to look outward, this book repeatedly turns the question inward.

What if Adam and Eve reveal something about every human being?

What if the greatest work of discipleship is the lifelong ordering of the inner person under Christ?

What if marriage itself is one of God's greatest teaching instruments?

This book does not ask you merely to think differently about marriage.

It invites you to examine the condition of your own soul.
