Center Church
Speaker: Josh Miller

Summary
Using Song of Solomon 3:1-11, Josh teaches that biblical marriage is a divine covenant reflecting God's love for the church. Marriage is not a man-made contract for personal fulfillment, but a sacred institution where two people become one, built on allegiance, action, and affection that mirrors Christ's covenant with believers.
Highlights
If nothing in your heart is moved by the idea that we're going to have to start turning people away, there might be something wrong in your heart.
Infatuation will get you married, but deep affection will keep you married. Affection grows in the greenhouse of allegiance and action.
Most marriage problems are gospel problems. Gospel problems are when we make marriage about us, about getting what we want and keeping score. But that's not biblical marriage.
