This is not another shallow sermon series on marriage. These are not going to be sentimental talks. Marriage is not sentimental. It’s hard. It’s grueling. Difficult. Painful. And yet marriage is so wonderfully rewarding. Significantly satisfying. It’s beautiful. The Bible says marriage is a profound mystery. And, yes, most married people agree: Who can understand it?
Please join us at GCR Church for a serious look at the ways we typically hijack God’s purpose for our marriages and the solutions that will bring our marriage relationships in line with his holy intent. The teaching will be practical, helpful, and brutally realistic.

SUBMISSION AND MARRIAGE
Submission has become a dirty word. We hear the word “submission” and we think about slavery, oppression, or forced labor of some kind. The only people to whom we must submit are power-hungry dictators or cruel taskmasters. The word “submit” is outdated and out of the question. To submit is seen as the opposite of being free, and freedom seems to be our most prized value. But submission is mandatory in a marriage. If the essence of marriage is the vow, then submission is the function.
