Summary
Jesus teaches God's design for marriage—a covenant union between a man and woman characterized by companionship, covenant commitment, and sexual consummation—then addresses divorce as a tragic exception permitted only for adultery or abandonment, emphasizing that strong marriages reflect the gospel and are essential for the church's mission.
Highlights
The hope of the nations is tied to the health of your marriage. The salvation of the world is connected to the strength of your covenant.
When you realize that what your heart and your soul longs for is not found in a spouse or in a perfect marriage, but it's found in the Lord Jesus Christ, it allows you to serve your spouse and love your spouse in the way that Jesus Christ has laid his life down for you.
If you wait until the mood strikes and the situation is right, it won't happen. As you get older in marriage, we just have to be intentional to pursue one another.
