We expect marriage a relationships to take us somewhere it was never designed to take us
Align our expectations with God’s expectations
Gary Thomas - “Sacred Marriage”

What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?
The ultimate thing we can say about marriage is that it exists for God’s glory. That is, it exists to display God.
- John Piper
Pursuing God’s Purposes: DEPENDENCE ON GOD
God created the marriage relationship to be a partnership between one man and one woman
We learn to depend on God in a marriage relationship
Marriage: A picture of the type of relationship God desires to have with us
Jesus: “The Groom”

Jesus followers (The church): “The Bride”
Revelations 19:7: Be prepared to go to the wedding celebration of the lamb
Pursuing God’s Purposes: BRING HAPPINESS TO ANOTHER
Ephesians 5:21: Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
The essence of our faith: submission.

Matthew 20:26: The greatest is a servant

Matthew 20:28: Jesus came to serve, not be served
Marriage goal: Give all you can give
