Years ago, there was a very popular book on marriage entitled Men from Mars and Women from Venus.

If that is the case, then I can tell you that our marriage is for two people who come from two different galaxies.

And it is the grace of God and the grace of my wife that kept us together.

But by the same token, I am not fond of this statement. Marriage is a hard work. To be sure, in every

marriage, there are painful lessons to be learned.

There are painful experiences to go through.

There are difficult days at times.

But when Christ is not only at the center of the husband and at the center of the wife,

but also at the center of the wife, but also at the center of the relationship,

in a corporate relationship, when he is at the center of individually and corporately,

even the pain can turn into something sweet.

Even the sorrow can turn into joy. Even the failure can blossom into success. I know there are single

people here, and there are widows and widowers, there are older people who say, well, you know,

this stuff is just past me and I don't need this, but let me plead with you. Don't switch off,

because I'm going to teach from the Word of God, and the Word of God always has something to say to

every one of us. Now, as a single person, take notes, because you may need this information

down the road. And you say, oh, it's too late for me.

No, no, no, no.
