Published: March 8, 2015, 10 a.m.

History begins and ends with a wedding. It begins with God speaking his blessing over the marriage of Adam and Eve, and ends with the ceremony of Jesus being with His Bride - the Church. God is for marriage. But if God is for marriage then why do so many marriages call it quits? Why do so many struggle to be happy?This series may be difficult for some as it brings up memories of failed marriages, current divorce situations, and longings to one day marry. This series will also bring a hope of forgiveness, healing, purpose, and restoration for those where marriage has left them hurting, bitter, angry, and disillusioned. There's so much more at stake, and a much larger beauty and vision to marriage than just being happy. In this series Holy Matrimony we'll be looking at...What is marriage? What's the point of being married?What's the role of the husband in marriage? The role of the wife? The role of the sexual relationship in marriage?How do husbands and wives fulfill the larger vision God intends for marriage?As one author wrote, "Marriage is a means to an end. It exists for something larger than itself." Join us for Holy Matrimony as we discover what that 'larger' is and how to make it a reality in your marriage.
