Marriage

A Topical Survey

Marriage to the Glory of God

At the heart of mature masculinity is a sense of benevolent responsibility to lead, provide for, and protect women in ways appropriate to a man's differing relationships. At the hear of mature femininity is a freeing disposition to affirm, receive, and nurture strength and leadership from worthy men in ways appropriate to a woman's differing relationships.

Pressing Onward, Shoulder to Shoulder

“God gets glory when two very different and very imperfect people forge a life of faithfulness in the furnace of affliction by relying on Christ.” —John Piper
