God wants your marriage to exist…. All for the glory of God.

Relationships are hard, but marriages based on ourselves are even harder.

1. You must be MATCHED for the Glory of God.
What do you do when you and your spouse aren’t “Equally yoked” matched together – or you are not in a position to accomplish what God has called you to do together?

Not just both BELIEVING… but both WILLING to say “ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD.”

DATING’S SOLE PURPOSE IS TO DETERMINE
Do we match our character, passion, heart, humility … ALL FOR THE GLORY OF GOD?

Aquila and Priscilla unlocked the potential in others for the gospel to go forth!

They were so passionate about the WORD OF GOD getting to people they were willing to die for it

Living on mission together looked like opening their home to the work of God in multiple cities, opening their home for the church, and being in tune and obedient to the call of God and ALL the gentle churches were thankful to them and their ministry!

What it means is the priority was never on my happiness –but it was on the glory of God and his call on my life.

The meaning of the word “submit” here really implies the “taking on the mind-set of a servant, where instead of expecting others to cater to you and your needs, you look out for and seek to meet their needs."
