While we're yet sinners Christ died for us and it says how do we supposed to love one another like that?

While you know while Mary's not a senator I'm to die for her while I'm a senator

while I'm a senator Mary wants to die for me why because our marriage is so much bigger than just us

having more happy. Our marriage is about bringing God glory and putting Jesus

you give all those details you two we have it there as well so go

are at today we come in very selfishly even as the Christian community because we're born into

sin and we come into this with expectations and we end up in performance-based marriages that are

That's called Grace Marriage and they have a book with a similar title, The Grace Marriage,

How the Gospel and Intentionality transform your relationship.

And as you said, Jim, they shared some great stories last time, and if you missed any of

that or want to learn more about the book give us
