Reply to Why I’d like to do a marriage retreat
I think without realizing or thinking about it people act in rebellion to the Lord and their spouses. God calls us to love no matter what and we often hold back because of fear or insecurity or a need to control. I’m not saying we give in to every whim. There needs to be a godly balance. It’s just everyone has needs and they all need to be…

That’s good encouragement. I haven’t worked on this group in a while. Honestly, I’m kind of stalled. My circle of peers, there aren’t very many happily married people anymore. Lots of not-so-happy married people and plenty working on divorces or already there. Sobers you up.

[14] For by a…

Reply to Husband’s Job: Ephesians 5:25-33
Hebrews 10 describes the sanctifying work of Jesus in the same terms, but adds in the theme of temple sacrifice, referencing how Christ completes and surpasses a system that did not make people holy (v 11).
First, our sanctification comes not from the destruction or cost of the sacrifice, but the submission of human will:
