Today's culture makes us believe that romantic success is the most important of human achievements. Yet, Jesus himself neither married nor had children. Jesus' teaching tells us that marriage is important, but ultimately a means to an end. It serves to prepare us for the life of resurrection which is to come. Yet, in Christ it is not the only way we are prepared. Instead, the church should offer us a place where both the single and married find opportunities to serve and to grow more fully into maturity

Scripture Reference: Luke 20:27-40
