I firmly believe that God created marriage as the foundation upon which families and societies flourish because the selfless, others-oriented, life-giving posture of marriage is all about becoming better together. Yes, marriage ultimately brings glory to God. But part of that glory is the sanctifying power of marriage. God doesn’t ask you to marry someone that would be a detriment to your walk with Him. We are to be equally yoked, iron sharpening iron (2 Corinthians 6:14, Proverbs 27:17). A God-ordained marriage makes you stronger, better, brighter… together. It is like a refining fire that burns ever brighter for Him. And you reach a point in every relationship where you just know. You just know that you are better together (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12).
