«In all the weddings I have ever been to, the Bible reading always describes how God ordained marriage. What does this really mean, and what does it mean for me and my marriage? Rune Zahl-Olsen writes not only about what is obvious, but also about God's deeper purpose in establishing marriage. He clearly explains why there is a battle around the concept of marriage and around marriage as an institution in society. This book is based on the fundamental belief that the Bible is God's word to us, and that marriage is established by God for distinct purposes. This book is a recommended read to anyone who is married, considering separation, or considering marriage.». - Trond Sæthren, YWAM Family Ministries International Rune Zahl-Olsen is married to Agnes and they have three teenage children.
