Mark Driscoll Ministries. And remember it's all about Jesus.

Alright, if you got a Bible, go to first-feeder chapter three. We're going to be

in verses one through seven. And the context today is marriage. So the

sermatidal is honor in a real marriage. And for the Christian we we don't have a

perfect. And our good God does perfect work through imperfect people, which is

really the hope for marriage. And I just want to start by saying that I believe in

marriage. I love marriage and my wife's going to be up in a little bit. Hopefully

she feels the same. We'll just check in. And I believe that marriage is one of the

greatest opportunities that God gives us to learn how to be more like Jesus

Christ because it's about serving. It's about considering. It's about

selflessness in the world that really encourages self-ishness. And just a little

bit of a backstory. My wife, Grace and I met at 17. Every couple's got a

story. We met at age 17. We married at age 21. And now we've been faithfully

married to each other for 28 years. We've got five kids. One of those kids is

also married. So we're coming into that next season of life. We've had the

honor of teaching on marriage all over the world doing lots of events and

like more marriage resources, our encouragement would be go to marriage
