The Design, Function, and Repair of Covenant Relationships

Marriage is one of the most discussed institutions in history, yet few subjects are more misunderstood. In a culture filled with conflicting ideas about love, authority, submission, equality, and family, many believers struggle to reconcile modern assumptions with the plain teachings of Scripture.

In The Design, Function, and Repair of Covenant Relationships, Jared G. Cheshire returns to the biblical foundations of covenant to examine marriage as YHWH established it from the beginning. Drawing extensively from the Torah and the Messianic Writings, he presents marriage not as a mere social contract or romantic partnership, but as a covenant designed to reflect the relationship between YHWH and His people.

Through careful scriptural study, this book explores headship, authority, covenant responsibility, provision, protection, affection, betrothal, the prophetic significance of the biblical feasts, the purpose of head coverings, and the restoration of biblical household order. More than a marriage manual, it offers a comprehensive framework for understanding covenant relationships throughout Scripture.

Whether you are preparing for marriage, strengthening an existing marriage, or seeking a deeper understanding of YHWH’s design for family and covenant, this foundational volume provides practical insight and a compelling call to return to the pattern established by the Creator.

When the design is forgotten, the function is lost. When the design is restored, the covenant begins to flourish. Rediscover YHWH’s pattern, and rebuild marriage according to the One who created it.
