Welcome to Douglas Wilson's The Plodcast. This audio is brought to you by

Cannon Press. Before we get started I have to tell you about a brand new release today Toby Sumters no mere mortals marriage for people who will live forever

in recent decades we have essentially reduced marriage to a permanent roommate situation with sexual benefits.

Your husband or wife is no mere mortal,

but an eternal soul who is going to grow closer to God

or further from him because they are married to you. Add children to that mix and you get even
