The Sacrifice of Marriage
The modern attitude toward marriage includes concepts and desires like fulfillment, happiness, intimacy, and joy. None of these attitudes are wrong; they are accurate descriptions of what a healthy, biblical marriage can—and even should—look like. When we consider all the things that marriage should give us, it puts us in a receiving mindset: our needs, our desires, our preferences. However, according to the Bible, the way we achieve healthy marriages, relationships, and churches is by giving. Sacrifice is the path to the joy God has designed for people in community.
Join us this week as we see how sacrifice—a word we rarely, if ever, hear positively—is the road to joy in all human relationships.
