MEANING OF MARRIAGE BY TIM&C(K)?ATHY KELLER

# data[].attributes.body
- The wedding ceremony is less about how much you love someone ATM, but it’s an oath to love each other during your WORST.

-  you’re never supposed to worship the person that you’re “in love with”…. The image of love is not two people O.O each other. It’s two people standing side by side before God

- who do you want to come home to for 40 years after work? (Not some lazy couch potato mean nasty >:C) (a Jesus lover<3)

- long distance relationships:

- God CAN redeem a relationship that has already….

- the biblical image of sin is adultery against God. Yet, our God chooses to love us. Our God doesn’t love those that are perfectly pure, He REDEEMS us amidst our brokenness.

- God not only saves us from our PAST…. But He redeems our PRESENT

- this REDEMPTION qualifies under the context of genuine repentance and TURNING AWAY

- the image of the church is a hospital! We are all sick and ill,..that are in great need for the great Physician.

- DISCERNMENT: looking at all the facts & taking a wise step of faith.

- HOW DID U KNOW ??????: u will Neva know >:,,,C.      Until ur at the altar and it’s 2 late c:

BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW???: no matter what decision you make, it should not/and it will not lead to your ruin because your foundation is on the LORD

There will also be God’s word and trusted brothers and sisters in Christ that will be your counsel

- when you marry someone, it is not just your life goals…..but tWO life plans going together

- marriage is all about DYING TO YOURSELF DAILY. ARE U READY FOR DEATH TO THIS PERSON FOOL. >:C

- GOAL OF MARRIAGE: find someone who makes you more into the person God designed you to be.

- through marriage He will sanctify and chisel us to the design he made us to be

- love languages and MBTI?? Ooh?

- ANY relationship can become a substitute for God

- GOD IS OUR FIRST LOVE. WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER BETTER WHEN WE LOVE HIM FIRST

- sexual desire is a natural god given gift

BUTTTTTT disordered desire (misdirected)   is sin.

- if you are lusting then it is sin

ENCOURAGEMENT: God calls us to flee from sin.

- theres a physical nakedness but also a SPIRITUAL nakedness…thus, …. Boundaries in our spiritual lives before marriage!!!!
