The Bullet of Marriage: Building Something Larger (Part 1)

Why are almost half of all marriages ending in divorce? Even many couples who “make it” by staying together live far below their expectations.

What destroys most partners in the absence of a mutual great passion and plan to be used by God. Their ambitions are too small! They share no great purpose beyond raising their children, affluence and pleasure. Their goals are too small to embrace reality. They fall into the trap of using one another rather than being used of God together! Powerful and romantic love cannot be built around routine activities of the flesh. Even great human achievements in medicine, science, politics, business, etc., “come to nothing” (Psalm 112:10), unless purely aimed at the glory of God!
