(I Think) I Love You // Thinking About Marriage

Nov 23, 2025    Alistair Cochrane

This message explores why people still pursue marriage and argues that our deepest longings—intimacy, permanence, and mutuality—find their fullest expression within it. Drawing on Paul’s teaching to the Ephesian church, it highlights that marriage thrives not when it’s centred on personal happiness but when it’s grounded in mission, mutual submission, and sacrificial love. Through biblical insight and practical examples, it shows how a shared purpose expands a couple’s vision beyond daily frustrations. Ultimately, marriage becomes a reflection of Christ’s transformative love rather than a contract of convenience.
