Marriage Covenant vs Contract: What's the Difference?

Contract: an agreement between two or more parties for the doing or not doing of something specified. 

Covenant: an agreement, usually formal, between two or more persons to do or not to do something specified.

A covenant and a contract sound extremely similar in their definition according to Dictionary.com. BUT THEY HAVE ONE GIGANTIC DIFFERENCE!! A contract, as we all know can be broken. A covenant carries a more formal tone; as is expected since its origins are traced back to the Bible. Although one can have a covenant with their neighbor, landlord or business partner, here at Dream Marriages, we are interested in one covenant and one covenant alone...

The Marriage Covenant

"A covenant in simple terms is a contract that does not cease, it does not end..." an excerpt from The 3 Lost Keys to Your Amazing Dream Marriage

Although this revolutionary new book is jammed packed with must-read content, this single sentence above (of which, the rest is in the book) is one every single engaged couple needs to thoughtfully consider before taking those all important wedding vows.

Those vows are in essence a spoken, mutually agreed-upon, marriage covenant. And its a beautiful thing to: 

'...actually believe in our hearts, that when we speak the words, "to death do us part," we truly mean to commit for life to our spouse." Chapter 16, "The 3 Lost Keys"

Fruit and Marriage: The Amazing Process

The way an apple tree bears fruit is essential to beginning to understand the very basic, yet mind-blowing and revolutionary concept, critical in obtaining your very own, amazing dream marriage. Now, some of you may be asking, what does fruit have to do with my marriage? Let me explain...

Have you ever seen an apple tree in the fall? 

It's full of luscious apples just ready to be picked for apple cider, apple pie or applesauce. How about in the winter? The apples are long gone. Their goodness was enjoyed by everyone who picked them. Then another year passes and soon it's fall again. The apple tree is in full bloom. Imagine your marriage now. See how its like an apple tree yet?


Maybe not. But give me a moment to explain. Think back to when you and your spouse had your last argument. You both thought you were right. You both knew the other was wrong. Do you remember who gave in... if anyone? More than likely, one of you conceded a bit. You acknowledged the truth in what your partner was saying. 

Picture that apple tree again, but this time... in the winter. 

It no longer has any apples. It 'gave' its fruit to others. It died to itself, in a sense. Now, in the example above, the person who first gave in to the other, is like the apple tree. They died to themselves in the situation; in conceding to their spouse. To concede (give of ourselves, be selfless) its  like taking an 'apple' from us. The receiving partner is given life; a refreshing and sustaining apple, if you will. 

Oh, but this isn't the end. Oh no. What happened the next fall? Did giving all of its apples mean the tree completely died in the winter? This is the important part.

To learn what happens to the apple tree, and more importantly your marriage, you'll find the answer (and so much MORE) in Chapter 9 of The 3 Lost Keys to Your Amazing Dream Marriage.  

Over and over, season after season, the apple tree is teaching us an important lesson in none other than the sacred bond of marriage. For the low price of $9.99, find out today what the lost keys are to your very own amazing dream marriage!!
