Five words that made my head spin

Bible teaching about marriage shocked Sonia Harris when she first became a Christian. Now she’s written a book about it

Marriage is a lifelong commitment…” I didn’t hear the rest of the sentence. Those five words made my head spin and I couldn’t focus on what was being said. I was attending a Sunday service as a brand new Christian and I had not heard anything like this before. I had my life-plan all mapped out and it involved marriage, children, divorce and single parenting. This is what I had known and what had been displayed all around me whilst growing up, and I had adopted this model as ‘the norm’.

But, as a Christian, I was now being taught that marriage is a lifelong commitment.
