12 Days To A Love That LastsEgzanp

Theology of Marriage
 

Here it is! The final day of our twelve essential building blocks to a love that lasts! And we're closing it out with a bit of a curveball: what is your theology of marriage?
 

Marriage is about so many different things – that's why books and books and books have been written about it in the past and will be written about it in the future until Jesus returns. Marriage is a multi-faceted jewel that illuminates our world.
 

But when it all comes down to it, you and your spouse have to have a coherent theology of marriage. You have to understand that, like we read in our passages today, marriage is about both knowing someone and being known by them.
 

It's about being completely and entirely in love with the whole person, not just the parts you like.
 

It's about finding your true self in being "naked and unashamed" with one another. Knowing that, no matter what, you can be who you truly are with them and they will love you all the more for it.
 

That's the kind of love God has for us – and it's the kind of love that forms a marriage. That's the kind of love that lasts.
