One Flesh, One Cross

What if the modern church is wrong about divorce and remarriage? Today most Christians assume divorce just happens, people remarry, and life moves on. But Jesus never described lifelong marriage as an ideal that sometimes fails. He described a covenant in which two become one flesh before God—a union no human authority can sever. In One Flesh, One Cross, Calvin Taylor returns to Scripture with pastoral honesty. He challenges the assumptions many of us have absorbed without question and uncovers two missing keys: the all-sufficient love of Christ and the life-changing power of believing God can redeem even the hardest marriages. This is not about winning an argument. It is an invitation to recover what the Church has largely lost: a breathtaking vision of covenant faithfulness, forged at the cross—a steadfast love that keeps its vow even when it hurts, and looks more like Christ crucified. The real question isn‘t whether covenant faithfulness is always possible. It‘s whether we believe the grace of the cross is strong enough to sustain it.
