INTRODUCTION
Few things can bring more joy, satisfaction, and fulfillment to life than a healthy marriage. Unfortunately, the opposite is true of an unhealthy marriage. This means that God’s plan for a healthy Christian marriage cannot have its importance overstated. Whether you’re married, hope to be, or have no desire to be, understanding God’s will for this covenant and knowing how to communicate that to those you’re discipling is a key aspect of spiritual maturity and wisdom.

HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Mark 10:6-9
Perfection is the center of the target at which we aim as Christians. We won’t hit it all the time. Some of us rarely even come close to it this side of Heaven. However, that doesn’t mean we stop acknowledging where the center is and aiming directly at it all the days of our lives.
HAVE A VOLUNTEER READ Ephesians 4:22-27
All of our relationships in life will be hindered or enhanced proportionate to the quality of the most important relationship in our lives - Jesus. As Jesus says in Matthew 6, go after the best relationship possible with God, embracing His desire for your life, and everything else will turn out in a way that ultimately God will use for greatness.
APPLICATION
PRAYER
Pray that God would draw you closer to Him and do the same for your current or future spouse.
