I am reading this book ( When Sinners Say I do , Discovering the power of the Gospel of Marriage by Dave Harvey ) and also me and my husband are presently in a class with christian couples and one who fascilitates and I am fascinated to share about this topic when most of us especially christian do not have a clue about the purpose of why we are married . When we begin to orient our marriages around biblical truth, we see something amazing. MARRIAGE WAS NOT JUST INVENTED BY GOD , IT BELONGS TO GOD. He has unique claim over its design, purpose, and goals . It actually exists for HIM more than it exists for you and me and our spouses.
That's right . Marriage is not first about me and my spouse . Obviously , the man and woman are essential , but they are also secondary. GOD IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN A MARRIAGE. Marriage is for our good, but is first for GOD,s GLORY.
That may seem odd, surprising , or difficult to accept , but it is a vital truth for every christian married couple. A church servise can inject religious formalities into a wedding , but to make God the authority for marriage is a daily reality. May we all find the purpose of our marriage or some will be planning to be married and we need to read this book . it is great and meaningful. God Bless Your Marriage and your future .
