Hello, this is Ashley Chase welcoming you to the Mark Driscoll Podcast.

For more content from my dad, Pastor Mark, senior pastor here at the Trinity Church in

Scottsdale, Arizona, visit realfades.com where you'll find study guides to go along with

each sermon series as he preaches verse by verse through books of the Bible, daily

devotions, free e-books, and more.

Now grab your Bibles and get ready for today's sermon.

We're in an Old Testament book of the Bible called the Song of Songs and we're dealing

with the issue of real romance and I'm going to cover much of the Song of Songs in the

Sermon series, but two other resources I want to make you aware of.

There is the real romance book and you get a free copy on the way out if you're watching

online, go ahead and buy one through our friends at Excel.

And also there are parts of the song of songs that are perhaps not quite appropriate for

church.

Those happen to be my favorite sections in new life verses, but you can go to the Real Marriage

podcast, sign up wherever you get your podcasts, and grace and I go through all the details

in the Song of Songs, including the things that maybe wouldn't quite work for a church

setting.

And if you don't know what I'm talking about, just check it out for yourself.

All right, here's what we're going to do.

Today's topic is the most important day of your marriage is the last day.

If you are married, just hold hands for a moment and if you're fighting, hold both hands,

you need it real bad.
