Built for Two: God’s Design for Marriage Series

Genesis 2:20-25
As we begin this series concerning “Biblical Marriage,” let me share a couple of broad statements: First, marriage is the safest relationship on earth when God’s design for love is honored. Secondly, you have a 100% chance of success and happiness in marriage when you honor God’s laws of love! If half of the airplanes that were taking off from airports were crashing, it would be a sign of intelligence not to board one. With half of marriages failing, smart people are justified to ask, “Why would I want to do that?” That is a legitimate question. It is the question we seek to answer in this series of messages concerning God’s Design for Marriage. 


Demystifying Marriage

April 19, 2026

Now-a-days there seems to be a tremendous fear of marriage in our culture. In 1930, 83% of adult Americans were married, but today most Americans are not married. The rate is somewhere between 45 and 48%. Marriage seems to have a bad name. It gets slammed all the time! And even Christian people seem to be afraid of it.
Of course, it’s easy to understand why. We humans are often fearful of things we don’t understand. God created marriage to be simple and easily understood. People fail in marriage because they don’t know how to love each other.
I’m certainly not an expert, but I want to show you what I have learned from the Word of God and 49 years of marriage.
Let’s Demystify Marriage!
