The Essence of Marriage

Is your relationship sustained by feelings that rise and fall, or by a promise that deepens over time? In this message, we explore the profound difference between a consumer type of love—which stays only as long as its needs are met—and a covenant type of love, which is anchored in a promise for better or worse. Diving into Ephesians 5 and 1 Peter 3, we look past the superficial romantic standards of culture to discover God's true architectural design for marriage. Whether you are single, dating, or have been married for decades, discover how a healthy, lifelong partnership isn't built by two perfect people who never cause pain, but by two imperfect people who continually choose the costly path of mutual submission, sacrificial service, and radical forgiveness.
