Joy in Marriage :: [Ep. 277]

Joy in marriage isn't just for personal happiness but serves as a powerful testimony for Christ, showing others the benefits of following God. When couples follow God's design, their relationship becomes a living demonstration of God's undeserved love to a world that desperately needs to see it.

In this week's episode, we are covering the following:

• Why marriage is often reduced to roommates working through tasks rather than experiencing God's joy
• Christians frequently portray following God as difficult with little joy, making faith unattractive to others
• Learning from King Solomon who warns against worldly pursuits and encourages rejoicing in your spouse
• How Biblical marriage provides tangible language to explain Christ's love for the church
• Redemption in marriage isn't dismantling God's created order but recovering it

We hope as you listen, you are encouraged and blessed!
