Between Two Trees is named for the two references to the Tree of Life found in Genesis 2:9 and Revelation 22. At the beginning and at the end of time, relationships flourish in the world God had designed. The Garden of Eden and the Eternal City of God was free of fear and there genuine love prevails (1 John 4:18). This is the yearning of every marriage, flourishing in the safety of Adam and Eve enjoined in the garden. All “the people of God” will delight “in” at the end of time in God’s Kingdom.

Romans 8:23 describes the world we live in, the “fallen” state after sin and selfishness entered the picture. Marriages, like the rest of creation, groan looking for what Adam and Eve experienced and what the future reality will be. The beauty we believe here is that as couples come to know the truth and grace of God's Good News, their relationship can flourish during this time we describe as, “Between Two Trees”.
