"What's mine is mine, and what's yours is yours." We hear that a lot lately, don't we? In a world of prenups and separate bank accounts, we’ve turned the marriage ceremony into a business contract where we keep our resources close to our chest, just in case things don't work out. It’s a strategy born out of fear: the fear that if we give everything, we’ll end up with nothing. But today we’re looking at a different kind of economy. We’re moving beyond the "transactional, contract" marriage to discover God’s design of a covenant marriage. We’re going to see how God designed marriage not as a way to protect your own assets, but as a sacred pledge to bring your very best to the table so that your spouse never has to wonder if their needs will be met.
