In our first blog we introduced “Covenant Couples” and the purpose for the blog. Thinking about our next blog I thought it would be a good idea to share with you why we chose the name “Covenant Couples”. Covenant etymology is very dynamic in one sense yet, constant in another it also was chosen because it expresses that God is the source and originator of the entire covenant concept and phenomenon. The Covenant was also the way for God to provide information on administration of affairs in daily life that He desired that we follow.

It is  the tool that God uses to show us the importance of the marriage institution but also to express the non-retractable promises He has made to you and I as well as to all mankind. The Idea of Covenant, meaning a coming together, however, the word has such a multiplicity of rich meanings in which we plan to discuss in future blogs. We have selected our preferred meaning of this Old Testament word which is bond; a covenant refers to two or more parties bound together. This idea of bond will be explicated more fully in future blogs.

The New Testament word for covenant has usually been translated as covenant, but testimony and testament have also been used. Part of our goal is to share our marriage testimony with you with the hope of promoting this divine institution and the importance of strengthening it to preserve our social existence.
