Introduction
In this week’s Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo challenge us to consider how our marriages measure up to God’s standard. Andy and Jo remind us that marriage is God’s design, noting that God created one man and one woman and said they should go forth and multiply and that the two become one flesh which is spelt out in Genesis.

Andy and Jo also point out that Jesus talks about being the Bride Groom and the Church being the bride, using the analogy of marriage showing the importance of marriage and our witness through our marriages.

Andy B highlights the impact of a healthy Christian marriage and Jo agrees and shares that she was led to Christ by a Godly couple who were loving, gentle and kind and so together.

Andy B reads 1 Corinthians 13 showing us that tis is the framework for our marriages – Love – no clanging gongs or plumber’s tools thrown down here, please!

Tips and Resources

The Take Away
Jo – “Marriage can be portrayed as really boring, or dull. But, it’s actually a really exciting challenge because it encourages us to become more like Jesus, and nothing is more exciting than that!”

Andy – “Does our marriage point people to Jesus, or to ourselves? Do I come across as loving Jesus more, or my wife more?”
