Marriage isn’t perfect, and it was never meant to be.
The goal of marriage isn’t finding someone who will make you happy all the time. The goal is becoming more like Christ together.
Marriage is a picture of Christ and His Church. A love story marked by sacrifice, service, grace, and commitment—not convenience.
When pride takes center stage, relationships struggle. But when the Spirit of God fills our hearts, we learn to serve instead of demand, to forgive instead of keep score, and to love as Christ loved us.
Jesus didn’t come to be served. He came to serve.
The strength of a marriage isn’t found in two perfect people. It’s found in two people continually surrendering to Jesus and reflecting His character to one another.
The enemies of a healthy marriage aren’t imperfections or disagreements. They’re selfishness, pride, unresolved wounds, and the pursuit of personal happiness above God’s purpose.
May our marriages point beyond ourselves and tell the greatest love story ever written—the story of Christ and His Church.
