The marriage relationship between a husband and a wife is like the relationship of Christ to His church. What does that say about marriage and family today?
Marriage (the union of man and woman before God in covenant) is the reflection of God's love for the church. Love is perfected and demonstrated in marriage. So, how do we perfect love? Well.. the sayings goes practice makes perfect... and there's another saying - practice makes permanent. People say that in order to make something a habit - you have to do it at least 21 times.. If you did a bad thing 21 times, then the bad thing becomes a part of you.
How do we practice love so that we can experience the fullness of God's perfect love? Practice rightly.
Marriage has become a joke recently. People get married because they "feel" something and when that feeling is gone - they get a divorce.
What are your views on marriage? How has this world taken something so sacred that God has created - and made it into something that is no longer sacred?
What can you do to protect marriage for what God has created it to be?
Even further, how can we learn more about what marriage is about in the way Jesus loves us?
