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.

THE PURPOSE OF MARRIAGE
This is where the brutal reality meets the glorious vision. The reality and glory of Christian marriage collide in the middle of our Ephesians 5:21-33 passage and right here in the middle of our marriage series: “…to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the Word, and to present her to himself as a radiant Church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless” (Ephesians 5:26-27). If you don’t see your spouse’s deep flaws and weaknesses and sins, you’re not paying attention; those sins are real. But if you’re not excited about the person your spouse is becoming, if you’re not committed to the glorious transformation that God is doing in your mate, you’re not tapping into the purpose of your marriage.
