Session 1:

“An unconditional marriage in a conditional world”

  • A Conditional approach speaks more to convenience and can undervalue and even dirty up what God intended it to be.

  • An Unconditional marriage should point us back to the God ordained purpose for marriage.

  • It is a reflection of Christ and the Church

    This is a great mystery, but it is an illustration of the way Christ and the church are one. —Ephesians 5:32 (NLT)

  • Marriage demonstrates completeness and companionship

    24 Then the LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right for him. This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.” —Genesis 2:18 (NLT)

  • Marriage is a never ending learning opportunity

    but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. —1 Thessalonians 5:21 (NLT)

  • Marriage enhances God’s Kingdom

    “Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened. —Genesis 1:15

How can you unconditionally fuel the relationship with your spouse?

“What makes the relationship healthy?” Rather than… “What is wrong with my spouse that is causing our relationship to suffer?”

“True Marriage is a laboratory in which poisons of selfishness, bad temper, and bad behavior may be poured into the test tube of patience and neutralized and changed by the catalytic power of love and constant effort to behave nobly.” —Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda
