In Part 2 of the Marriage Seminar, Apostle Alfred Williams breaks marriage down with striking clarity: marriage is a partnership — a joint enterprise “to the exclusion of all others”, rooted in God’s design that a man leaves father and mother and cleaves to his wife (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6). He explains how partnership principles illuminate the Biblical covenant: decisions carry weight, trust must be guarded, and parents (and third parties) must never be allowed to intrude into the oneness God created. He anchors the seriousness of the covenant in Malachi 2:14–16, teaching that God Himself is witness, that husband and wife are made one in flesh and spirit (Malachi 2:15), and that the Lord hates divorce — so wisdom must lead both courtship and commitment. Unity is expressed in shared responsibility — love, honour, provision, raising children, and handling finances with openness and integrity. Apostle emphasises that love is given, not demanded, and that genuine marriage means sharing profits and losses,
