What does it take for a marriage to remain strong? Communication? Trust? Respect? Love? Today on Living on the Edge, Chip Ingram will share that there’s something more foundational and more essential to a strong, lasting marriage than all those other aspects.

Main Points

God's instructions for a great marriage

• It requires mutual submission to God and each other. - Ephesians 5:21
• You need to know how to love your mate.
• Your marriage has an even bigger purpose than your happiness.

Marriage is a holy covenant

• A covenant: An agreement and guarantee one person makes with another.

A covenant marriage involves three distinct aspects:

• Leaving
• Cleaving
• Becoming "one flesh"

Since marriage is a covenant and not merely a contract...

• Divorce is not an option. - Malachi 2:14
• Adultery is a serious covenant breaking offense. - Proverbs 2:16-19                                    
• Sex before marriage is a violation of this holy covenant. - Hebrews 13:4
• Same sex relationships are forbidden as a violation of God’s design. - 1 Corinthians 6:9; Romans 1:26-27
