The Jewish Wedding
Bob and Patti Aspling, guest preachers
Today, many people are asking, "Why get married?" Sure, the statistics
show that married people live longer and tend to be happier in the long
run, but why not just live together? Why get married in the first place?
Patti and I know that God created marriage, so it's more than just a good
idea. But after nearly 40 years of marriage, we've come to realize that
God gave marriage to more clearly reveal Himself and His character, and
to come to understand His ultimate desire for each of us throughout
eternity.
Now that's what I'm Talkin' About

After the message:
- [If married] Share with your spouse what things were new for you.
Ask your spouse, “Are these indeed your needs?” What one step
will you take next in regards to your marriage? - [If single] In your primary relationship(s), are you meeting their
(nonsexual) needs or just taking? How can Jesus meet your
unfulfilled needs (without a spouse)? How can you prepare now for
the spouse you may one day have?

In movies, books, and TV shows, it seems as though all the
challenges in a relationship take place before the wedding. After
that, couples are supposed to live happily ever after--just like the
fairy tales. However, all across our nation we are seeing this
simply isn't true. Half of all marriages end in divorce. Those who
stick together often live with troubled marriages. The reality is,
most of the work needed to create a “happily ever after” marriage
takes place after the wedding. God created marriage and has a
lot to say about how to operate it. Marriage can truly be a slice of
heaven on earth if we apply God’s Word to how we manage it.
Join us as we dig into God's Word. It could revolutionize your
marriage. If you're not married yet but hope to be someday, this
will prepare you for the biggest commitment of your life.
