Marriage

A Topical Survey

Marriage to the Glory of God

God designed marriage as a lifelong commitment between one man and one woman for their mutual joy, the good of society, and the procreation of children. Marriage ultimately displays the glory and grace of God by picturing the unbreakable relationship between Christ and his church.

Before You Say “I Do”

The more difficult issues a couple can talk through before marriage, the better.

The Joy of Covenant Faithfulness

Rock-solid commitment in marriage is the best soil for the long-term flourishing of tender affections.

Honoring Christ in Headship and Submission

At the heart of mature masculinity is a sense of benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for, and protect women in ways appropriate to a man's differing relationships. At the hear of mature femininity is a freeing disposition to affirm, receive, and nurture strength and leadership from worthy men in ways appropriate to a woman's differing relationships.

Pressing Onward, Shoulder to Shoulder

“God gets glory when two very different and very imperfect people forge a life of faithfulness in the furnace of affliction by relying on Christ.” —John Piper
