Summary

“Yes, I love you … but could you please stop leaving your things around the house?” God made us male and female, complementary yet different. We can choose to see the differences in our spouse as bewildering frustrations…or we can see them as opportunities to encounter Jesus and love more.

Snippet from the Show
In marriage, God is inviting us to take our initial love for each other to the next level: To deepen it, purify it, and make it ever more like his love.

0:44.1	this question.
0:45.1	She just said, wow, this is just not what I expected.
0:48.2	That marriage is, you know, these two different people coming together like this.
0:51.2	He's just so different than me, the way he thinks about things, the way he keeps cleanliness

1:03.0	From me, and it's these two people coming together, so different, and we have to work
