Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of marriage

MARRIAGE involves a blending of lives,
not merely a “joining.”
Many marriages flounder
because each continues to look back
over their shoulder at freedoms and relationships
they had in the past.

When a couple invites Jesus Christ
to be the cornerstone to their marriage
the strong foundation upon which
they build their relationship
they are inviting Him to walk before them.

Then He is free to lead them forward
into the unique purpose
He has for them as married couple.
We are unique as individuals,
but each marriage is also unique.

It is as individuals and one of a kind
as the two people involved.
Just as God created us as completely
original individuals, so we need to
invite Him to make our marriages
completely original relationships.

This can only happen
when each person in the relationship
yield his or her individuality to God’s higher purpose.
C.S Lewis said, “Self exist to be abdicated.
In self-giving we touch a rhythm,
not only of all creation, but of all being,
for the Eternal word also gives Himself in sacrifice.”

Marriage was designed
to teach us about
our relationship with Jesus.
The key to a good marriage
is loving self-sacrifice.
A personal relationship with Jesus Christ
is the cornerstone of marriage
