God has good purposes for marriage in this broken world. The gospel alone provides the foundation for a marriage filled with unity, understanding, and love.
It’s easy to think that marriage will provide inner spiritual satisfaction in a way it was never intended to do. That only comes vertically. It never comes horizontally. Marriage means two sinners united together in a fallen world. While the power of sin has been broken, the presence of sin still remains. The gospel radically shapes the direction of every marriage.
Expectations for a perfect marriage are sure to fade away in the struggles of everyday life. A long-term, flourishing marriage needs to be grounded in the gospel. Is your marriage a place of trust? Would your spouse say that you keep your word and are faithful to your promises? Trust can be a barometer for your marriage.
This is the first seminar in the Gospel Lifestyle Series, held on September 10, 2021. In this seminar, Paul Tripp shares how the gospel radically shapes the direction of every marriage.
