Summary
God designed marriage to meet five foundational human needs—friendship, intimacy, family, stability, and maturity—making it a high and holy ambition worth pursuing. The pastor challenges modern culture's rejection of marriage and calls young adults to confidently take action toward finding and pursuing a godly spouse.
Highlights
Outside of Jesus the greatest blessing in my life has been my wife Crystal and my kids in my life there's nothing I treasure more that's brought me more joy than the pleasure of being married to a delightful godly woman who completes me.
Marriage is the school of character—where you learn how to lay your life down to serve someone else's best interests over your own.
If God has a very good gift that he wants to give you of a spouse you might actually have to reach out to grab some of that—it takes an action plan.
