First Sentence

"I have no intention or expectation that the following groups of people will necessarily accept the principles set forth in this book or benefit from them: people who have not received Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (i.e. people who are not true Christians); people who call themselves Christians but do not believe that the Bible is the inerrant, inspired and authoritative word of God; radicals who believe that the male race and female race are enemies; people who believe that females are inferior to males; people who buy into some humanistic or man-made design for marriage and for the roles of the husband and the wife in marriage; and people who believe that marriage is a conditional contract or temporary arrangement rather than an absolute covenant and commitment for life."
