Summary

Our marriages are not primarily about us, but a reflection of God’s covenant love for His people. Husbands: your wife needs to know you value her. Your example is Christ.

0:00.0	Amen and amen. Hey, if you got your Bibles, I hope you do, we're going to be in Maticai Chapter 2.
0:08.8	Again, we're going verse by verse through this book of Malachi. Malachi is an Old Testament prophet,

0:20.6	before Jesus shows up in the New Testament.
0:23.6	This one blank page in your Bible in between the Old and New Testament represents about

1:06.8	accusations you know what i'm talking about like when you you say, why are you so dumb? You're not

1:29.3	that they worshiped God, the way they basically treated God as common was evident that they had
1:35.1	lost their love for him. And now tonight, God is going to talk about marriage. Now, how relevant is God's word? Anybody need to hear about marriage right now?
1:49.6	By the way, any single people in the house, raise your hand if you're single, look at them.
