The Meaning of Marriage Chapters 5-6


Listen Later

Guests: Mike Thornberry and Gabe Boyd
 
Chapter 5 Loving the Stranger
Love CHANGES us - and the commitment (covenant) will carry us through the changes!
 
Keller - to be fully known and fully loved is our greatest desire.
 
Keller - …while your character flaws may have created mild problems for other people, they will create major problems for your spouse and your marriage.
 
Keller - …you must realize that it isn’t ultimately your spouse who is exposing the sinfulness of your heart – it’s marriage itself.
 
Keller - Don’t resist this power that marriage has. Give your spouse the right to talk to you about what is wrong with you.
 
Mike - my spouse is there to help me be a better version of myself - weaknesses are opportunities for growth!
 
Gabe - the opportunity for growth and development in marriage should excite you!
 
Gabe - serving others is the easiest way to kill pride.
 
Chapter 6 Embracing the Other
 
Mike - we’re talking about the “s” word, and that’s not sex, it’s submission.
 
Both Tim and Kathy Keller share in the book how they came into their marriage with very different views of submission and authority. Communication and commitment (covenant) are the keys to working through those differences.
 
Kathy Keller - submission in marriage was a gift I offered, not a duty coerced of me.
 
Gabe - as the husband, my gift back is to lead well.
 
Dan - Christianity elevated women - now they have the choice to submit, from the position of equality - much different than the cultural concept where women were subservient because they were less than men
