Introduction

In this final episode in this series of Marriage Matters, Andy B and Jo take a look at expectations within our marriages – noting how we can have too high an expectation or to low an expectation on our marriages.

Andy highlights the issues of placing too much importance on the Wedding Day, when Marriage is for life - not just for the Wedding Day!

This week, Andy B shared some scriptures, which helps us to understand what matters in a marriage.

• 1 Corinthians 12:21-26
• Acts 2:44-46
• Jeremiah 29:11

The Take Away

Andy

You can plan your wedding day, and the ceremony. But be careful you don’t assume the rest of the marriage will be as easily planned out. Life gets messy. Things happen you can’t plan for. But that’s not indicative of anything other than the fact that life happens and tings catch us off guard that we never be unexpected. And, remember that those hard times in your life, which you didn't plan for, can be God's best way of getting your attention to become more like Jesus.

Also, a couple who love Jesus together can influence people around them in a very unique and special way.

Jo

Make sure you’re not settling for low expectations and expecting a poor marriage ahead of you.

I need to have higher expectations of what we can actually achieve together, with God.
