Most of what the Bible has to say about marriage does not come flagged up under a heading of marriage. It’s not just the famous marriage passages that shape a gospel-centered marriage, but the whole Bible-story of Gods good creation, humanitys wicked rebellion and Gods gracious redemption.
To understand why marriages struggleas they all dowe need to understand the nature of our sin. To make marriages work, we need to understand how to apply the truth about God and His salvation.
