Real Marriage (Int'l)

Real Marriage (Int'l)
The Truth About Sex, Friendship, and Life Together
By Mark & Grace Driscoll
Published by Thomas Nelson


Each person has all the attributes of God, all the power of God, all the glory of God, yet they have mutually distinct roles within the Godhead. All of creation was intended to display God’s glory but nowhere is this remarkable aspect of God’s nature more clearly seen then in Christian marriage. The relationship between husband and wife is a picture of the Trinity where there is equality of honor (1 Peter 3:7), but distinction of function. 


This book summarrizes 'em all. In our modern culture, we have lost the idea of commitment that transcends the vagrancies of our emotions. Christians today assume that life is to be lived on feelings, rather than on commitment to principles and ideals. And so, we suffer the highest divorce rate in history.Christian marriage by examining Ephesians 5:22-33. We focused particularly on the relationship between Christ and the church, having noted that these themes were present throughout the book of Ephesians. Recall that we highlighted four aspects of this relationship: a must read if you want to save  your maariage or do something about good about your marriage. If you could start over, maybe you could make this marriage work. But given your spouse, given all that has happened in your marriage, there is no hope."
