Abstract

The paper reviews law of marriage and divorce as applicable to Christian couple. It highlights the concept of Christian marriage to be a permanent one- flesh union and specifically focuses on the issue of Christian home which is built on Godly values and divine lifestyles with the overall purpose that each home will portray God’s glory and be a witnessing platform in the society in particular and to the entire world in general. It dialectically appraises the institution of marriage and family in today’s society from socio-legal perspectives that have been gradually withering away the values of marriage as a divinely established institution ordained by God.
