The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - The Principles of Biblical Marriage | April 23, 2026
  • I was married 50 plus years.
  • 00:00:02.281 --> 00:00:04.049
  • I've been married now, going on four years.
  • 00:00:04.049 --> 00:00:06.819
  • Marriage, in my experience.
  • 00:00:07.419 --> 00:00:10.856
  • Sinful.
  • 00:00:11.090 --> 00:00:11.924
  • Flawed that i am many, many ways.
  • 00:00:11.924 --> 00:00:15.661
  • Marriage is exciting for a feeling of blessing.
  • 00:00:15.661 --> 00:00:19.364
  • It is a joy
  • 00:00:19.364 --> 00:00:21.834
  • Because god's
  • 00:00:21.834 --> 00:00:23.569
  • Biblical principles work.
  • 00:00:23.569 --> 00:00:26.105
  • And if that is not happening with exciting creativity
  • 00:00:26.105 --> 00:00:30.209
  • In your marriage, you're not following god's principles
  • 00:00:30.209 --> 00:00:34.313
  • For this most important foundational relationship.
  • 00:00:34.313 --> 00:00:37.916
  • You got it.
  • 00:00:37.916 --> 00:00:38.717
  • That's true.
  • 00:00:38.717 --> 00:00:58.537
  • Psalm
  • 00:00:58.770 --> 00:01:00.305
  • 11 three said,
  • 00:01:00.305 --> 00:01:03.142
  • If the foundations
  • 00:01:03.575 --> 00:01:05.277
  • Are being destroyed,
  • 00:01:05.277 --> 00:01:08.347
  • What can the righteous do?
  • 00:01:08.914 --> 00:01:11.884
  • You know, we have that conversation all the time.
  • 00:01:11.884 --> 00:01:14.720
  • Do you realize that
  • 00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:16.922
  • We look around us and the foundations
  • 00:01:16.922 --> 00:01:19.591
  • Are being destroyed?
  • 00:01:19.591 --> 00:01:21.193
  • They're being burned up.
  • 00:01:21.193 --> 00:01:22.427
  • They're being put to one side.
  • 00:01:22.427 --> 00:01:24.229
  • And we always ask,
  • 00:01:24.229 --> 00:01:27.466
  • What in the world can we do?
  • 00:01:28.066 --> 00:01:30.035
  • If you're a christian.
  • 00:01:30.502 --> 00:01:32.204
  • How can we stand against this.
  • 00:01:32.204 --> 00:01:34.940
  • In all the opposition that is coming
  • 00:01:34.940 --> 00:01:37.576
  • And all the confusion we're part of?
  • 00:01:37.576 --> 00:01:40.412
  • Isn't that a part of almost our daily conversation?
  • 00:01:40.412 --> 00:01:44.850
  • If the foundations are being destroyed?
  • 00:01:45.684 --> 00:01:49.988
  • What in the world
  • 00:01:50.422 --> 00:01:53.425
  • Can the righteous do?
  • 00:01:53.926 --> 00:01:57.396
  • A big assumption is, assuming
  • 00:01:58.030 --> 00:02:00.265
  • That you and i are righteous.
  • 00:02:00.265 --> 00:02:05.571
  • Are the american flag.
  • 00:02:06.038 --> 00:02:08.941
  • The united states has foundations.
  • 00:02:09.708 --> 00:02:13.845
  • I think the fundamental statement would be
  • 00:02:14.713 --> 00:02:18.183
  • One nation
  • 00:02:18.483 --> 00:02:20.919
  • Under god.
  • 00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:25.290
  • Now, as we look around,
  • 00:02:25.791 --> 00:02:29.494
  • We discover we're not one nation.
  • 00:02:29.494 --> 00:02:32.898
  • We're divided into many facets
  • 00:02:33.498 --> 00:02:36.068
  • On the basis of many ideologies.
  • 00:02:36.068 --> 00:02:39.938
  • We're not one nation today,
  • 00:02:40.539 --> 00:02:43.508
  • And we're not under god.
  • 00:02:44.042 --> 00:02:45.811
  • By and large, we are under the state.
  • 00:02:45.811 --> 00:02:49.214
  • And the state, evidently
  • 00:02:49.748 --> 00:02:51.583
  • With great intentionality, is keeping us.
  • 00:02:51.583 --> 00:02:54.453
  • There's divided as possible.
  • 00:02:54.453 --> 00:02:58.056
  • What are these foundations?
  • 00:02:58.657 --> 00:03:01.627
  • Declaration of independence.
  • 00:03:02.227 --> 00:03:05.030
  • Constitution by laws.
  • 00:03:05.530 --> 00:03:08.734
  • Systematically, as anybody who's awake knows,
  • 00:03:09.668 --> 00:03:13.805
  • All of these foundational documents
  • 00:03:13.805 --> 00:03:16.208
  • Are being shredded and disregarded.
  • 00:03:16.208 --> 00:03:20.112
  • We hold these truths
  • 00:03:20.579 --> 00:03:22.848
  • To be self-evident.
  • 00:03:22.848 --> 00:03:25.851
  • Let's stop right there.
  • 00:03:26.351 --> 00:03:28.220
  • We hold these truths, fundamental foundational truths
  • 00:03:28.220 --> 00:03:33.091
  • To be self-evident.
  • 00:03:33.091 --> 00:03:35.894
  • That all men are created equal.
  • 00:03:35.894 --> 00:03:38.297
  • Now, it doesn't mean equal opportunity.
  • 00:03:38.297 --> 00:03:41.099
  • Background environment, etc.
  • 00:03:41.099 --> 00:03:44.002
  • But it does mean basically, though,
  • 00:03:44.002 --> 00:03:46.138
  • We're in a fallen world and there are some exceptions.
  • 00:03:46.138 --> 00:03:49.107
  • All of us and all the planet have an equality in the sense
  • 00:03:49.107 --> 00:03:53.312
  • That we were created in the image of god.
  • 00:03:53.312 --> 00:03:55.814
  • And that primarily means we have the ability to choose.
  • 00:03:55.814 --> 00:04:00.886
  • We're not determined by our instincts,
  • 00:04:01.720 --> 00:04:04.990
  • By our dna.
  • 00:04:05.324 --> 00:04:06.892
  • We are made in the image of god,
  • 00:04:06.892 --> 00:04:09.261
  • And therefore all men and women are created equal.
  • 00:04:09.261 --> 00:04:13.532
  • They are endowed,
  • 00:04:13.532 --> 00:04:16.668
  • Given by the creator god.
  • 00:04:17.235 --> 00:04:19.871
  • We're certain unalienable or inalienable rights, and
  • 00:04:19.871 --> 00:04:23.542
  • Those words are interchangeable in a lot of documents
  • 00:04:23.542 --> 00:04:27.479
  • To life.
  • 00:04:27.746 --> 00:04:30.515
  • In the united states of america.
  • 00:04:30.515 --> 00:04:32.017
  • We've already seen around 60 million lives
  • 00:04:32.017 --> 00:04:36.521
  • Murdered in their mother's womb.
  • 00:04:36.521 --> 00:04:39.558
  • What happened to life, you say?
  • 00:04:39.558 --> 00:04:41.760
  • Well, we were.
  • 00:04:41.760 --> 00:04:42.761
  • We've gone away with roe v wade.
  • 00:04:42.761 --> 00:04:44.863
  • No, we take it down to the states,
  • 00:04:44.863 --> 00:04:49.368
  • And i pray there will be less.
  • 00:04:49.968 --> 00:04:51.770
  • But we have no assurance of that.
  • 00:04:51.770 --> 00:04:54.740
  • It's an inalienable right
  • 00:04:55.307 --> 00:04:57.843
  • Given to us by god almighty.
  • 00:04:57.843 --> 00:05:00.612
  • Life, liberty,
  • 00:05:00.946 --> 00:05:03.815
  • Freedom.
  • 00:05:04.082 --> 00:05:05.817
  • Can you speak freely on any subject
  • 00:05:05.817 --> 00:05:08.820
  • And go anywhere and not have to?
  • 00:05:08.820 --> 00:05:10.956
  • Are you?
  • 00:05:10.956 --> 00:05:11.790
  • We better lower our voice because.
  • 00:05:11.790 --> 00:05:15.427
  • The government is listening.
  • 00:05:16.027 --> 00:05:18.864
  • Oh, yeah. oh, yeah.
  • 00:05:18.864 --> 00:05:20.132
  • That's what we are, folks.
  • 00:05:20.132 --> 00:05:22.567
  • Liberty.
  • 00:05:22.567 --> 00:05:24.403
  • Now, we
  • 00:05:24.636 --> 00:05:25.337
  • Stole those two words from.
  • 00:05:25.337 --> 00:05:28.073
  • England.
  • 00:05:28.073 --> 00:05:29.107
  • In their basic documents.
  • 00:05:29.107 --> 00:05:30.942
  • Life and liberty.
  • 00:05:30.942 --> 00:05:31.877
  • And they say property.
  • 00:05:31.877 --> 00:05:33.278
  • We said the pursuit of happiness.
  • 00:05:33.278 --> 00:05:37.983
  • That's our basic
  • 00:05:38.383 --> 00:05:39.418
  • Foundational documents under the flag.
  • 00:05:39.418 --> 00:05:43.422
  • What's the next basic foundation?
  • 00:05:44.189 --> 00:05:48.894
  • It is the family.
  • 00:05:49.327 --> 00:05:51.363
  • It is marriage.
  • 00:05:51.363 --> 00:05:54.299
  • Where did marriage come from?
  • 00:05:54.299 --> 00:05:57.135
  • Just a social.
  • 00:05:57.135 --> 00:05:58.470
  • Convenience that came through tradition and history.
  • 00:05:58.470 --> 00:06:02.040
  • No, it came from biblical truth.
  • 00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.876
  • In the beginning, god created
  • 00:06:05.510 --> 00:06:08.747
  • The heavens and the earth.
  • 00:06:09.314 --> 00:06:10.549
  • And then you have the days of creation.
  • 00:06:10.549 --> 00:06:13.351
  • And following each day, god looked back on his creation
  • 00:06:13.351 --> 00:06:16.955
  • And said it is good.
  • 00:06:16.955 --> 00:06:20.158
  • The second day it is good.
  • 00:06:20.725 --> 00:06:23.128
  • The third day he looked back and said, it is good.
  • 00:06:23.128 --> 00:06:26.164
  • The fourth day he looked back.
  • 00:06:26.164 --> 00:06:27.699
  • He said, it is good.
  • 00:06:27.699 --> 00:06:30.235
  • And then to the sixth day.
  • 00:06:30.235 --> 00:06:34.139
  • He looked
  • 00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:35.073
  • Back on all the creation.
  • 00:06:35.073 --> 00:06:37.876
  • He said, it is very good.
  • 00:06:37.876 --> 00:06:41.480
  • And then the seventh day he put in the sabbath,
  • 00:06:42.414 --> 00:06:45.150
  • And we are a part
  • 00:06:45.150 --> 00:06:46.485
  • Of the new sabbath, the first day of the week,
  • 00:06:46.485 --> 00:06:49.020
  • Because that was the day of resurrection.
  • 00:06:49.020 --> 00:06:52.657
  • In the sabbath we are to be engaged
  • 00:06:53.391 --> 00:06:56.761
  • In recreation.
  • 00:06:56.761 --> 00:06:59.664
  • That's worship.
  • 00:06:59.664 --> 00:07:01.500
  • By the way.
  • 00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:02.601
  • All the tv internet people, well, i worship better.
  • 00:07:02.601 --> 00:07:06.805
  • No, no,
  • 00:07:06.805 --> 00:07:07.639
  • The bible says we do not forsake the
  • 00:07:07.639 --> 00:07:09.741
  • Assembling of ourselves together.
  • 00:07:09.741 --> 00:07:11.977
  • We need the proximity of the family
  • 00:07:11.977 --> 00:07:14.880
  • In the body of christ.
  • 00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:17.048
  • If you can go anywhere, you can get up and go to church.
  • 00:07:17.048 --> 00:07:20.752
  • God's house on sunday morning.
  • 00:07:20.752 --> 00:07:26.057
  • If you can't tune.
  • 00:07:26.491 --> 00:07:28.560
  • In, tune in.
  • 00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:33.131
  • God, look back.
  • 00:07:33.498 --> 00:07:34.666
  • And what. he does in those.
  • 00:07:34.666 --> 00:07:36.134
  • Days, those six days, and now the sabbath on the.
  • 00:07:36.134 --> 00:07:39.437
  • Sabbath.
  • 00:07:39.437 --> 00:07:40.138
  • He said, it is very good.
  • 00:07:40.138 --> 00:07:42.541
  • And then you begin in chapter two.
  • 00:07:42.541 --> 00:07:44.409
  • Let me explain this to some people.
  • 00:07:44.409 --> 00:07:47.312
  • Chapter one tells
  • 00:07:47.746 --> 00:07:49.281
  • Us basically in broad terms, what god did.
  • 00:07:49.281 --> 00:07:52.517
  • Genesis chapter two.
  • 00:07:52.984 --> 00:07:54.486
  • Tells us some of what he did.
  • 00:07:54.486 --> 00:07:57.389
  • It is a commentary and a partial explanation
  • 00:07:57.389 --> 00:08:01.660
  • Of chapter one.
  • 00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:03.128
  • Some lunatics open the bible.
  • 00:08:03.128 --> 00:08:05.897
  • Well, you got two different creation.
  • 00:08:05.897 --> 00:08:07.799
  • Wake up and understand basic ways
  • 00:08:07.799 --> 00:08:10.702
  • To interpret god's word.
  • 00:08:10.702 --> 00:08:13.405
  • Number one. this is what he. did.
  • 00:08:13.405 --> 00:08:15.240
  • Number two and then we have the first.
  • 00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:19.244
  • It is not good in the bible.
  • 00:08:19.844 --> 00:08:24.215
  • Five.
  • 00:08:24.449 --> 00:08:26.217
  • Good. six.
  • 00:08:26.217 --> 00:08:28.253
  • Very good.
  • 00:08:28.253 --> 00:08:30.488
  • Now we have it is not good.
  • 00:08:30.488 --> 00:08:32.390
  • What is not good for man.
  • 00:08:32.390 --> 00:08:34.826
  • To be a long.
  • 00:08:34.826 --> 00:08:38.463
  • And then he had already instructed
  • 00:08:39.197 --> 00:08:41.099
  • Mankind man to have dominion.
  • 00:08:41.099 --> 00:08:44.636
  • To have dominion.
  • 00:08:45.070 --> 00:08:47.305
  • To be the steward of all.
  • 00:08:47.305 --> 00:08:49.941
  • Of these fabulous.
  • 00:08:49.941 --> 00:08:51.643
  • Fabulous things that god had brought out of nothing
  • 00:08:51.643 --> 00:08:55.046
  • We call creation.
  • 00:08:55.046 --> 00:08:57.882
  • And then he
  • 00:08:58.216 --> 00:08:58.883
  • Says, adam scott, job for you.
  • 00:08:58.883 --> 00:09:01.653
  • Name all the animals.
  • 00:09:01.653 --> 00:09:04.556
  • Name all the living creatures.
  • 00:09:04.556 --> 00:09:06.558
  • And so
  • 00:09:06.558 --> 00:09:08.259
  • They began walking in front of adam.
  • 00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:10.228
  • And god had already told adam, i've got somebody for you.
  • 00:09:10.228 --> 00:09:14.432
  • So can you imagine?
  • 00:09:14.899 --> 00:09:16.067
  • As the parade came by.
  • 00:09:16.067 --> 00:09:18.503
  • Adam was saying, where's the rest of me?
  • 00:09:18.503 --> 00:09:20.839
  • You know.

  • Have at least four words for love.
  • 00:15:46.057 --> 00:15:48.860

  • 00:15:59.337 --> 00:16:01.572
  • That's chemistry.
  • 00:16:01.572 --> 00:16:02.540
  • That's physical love.
  • 00:16:02.540 --> 00:16:03.908
  • You need that in marriage.
  • 00:16:03.908 --> 00:16:06.044
  • That's attractive.
  • 00:16:06.044 --> 00:16:07.979
  • Then there's the leo.

  • Must be. has to be.
  • 00:16:13.785 --> 00:16:15.486
  • If you're going to have an exciting marriage that
  • 00:16:15.486 --> 00:16:17.855
  • Sizzles biblical style, there has to be a friendship.
  • 00:16:17.855 --> 00:16:21.292
  • There.
  • 00:16:21.292 --> 00:16:22.794
  • And then there's a god.
  • 00:16:22.794 --> 00:16:24.195
  • That's a big, broad, god given love
  • 00:16:24.195 --> 00:16:28.900
  • That is sacrificial love that you want primarily for
  • 00:16:28.900 --> 00:16:33.037
  • Your partner to be number one and to have everything.
  • 00:16:33.037 --> 00:16:37.108
  • And you would literally give your life for him or for her.
  • 00:16:37.108 --> 00:16:42.547
  • See, this.
  • 00:16:42.847 --> 00:16:43.548
  • Is the large framework of love.
  • 00:16:43.548 --> 00:16:47.185
  • And we see it define what love is,
  • 00:16:47.952 --> 00:16:50.188
  • And you ought to read a clear definition.
  • 00:16:50.188 --> 00:16:52.523
  • Read one corinthians 13.
  • 00:16:52.523 --> 00:16:55.726
  • Boy, that is a big word for love.
  • 00:16:55.726 --> 00:16:58.796
  • I might better do that.
  • 00:16:58.796 --> 00:17:00.331
  • So you understand how serious this thing really is.
  • 00:17:00.331 --> 00:17:06.070
  • Though i speak for the tongues of men
  • 00:17:06.804 --> 00:17:08.906
  • And angels, but have not love, i become something
  • 00:17:08.906 --> 00:17:13.077
  • Sounding brass, a clanging cymbal.
  • 00:17:13.811 --> 00:17:16.547
  • And though i have the gift
  • 00:17:16.547 --> 00:17:17.782
  • Of all prophecy, understand all mysteries, all knowledge.
  • 00:17:17.782 --> 00:17:21.319
  • And though i have all faith, so that i can remove mountains,
  • 00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:24.722
  • But have not love, i'm zero.
  • 00:17:24.722 --> 00:17:27.592
  • And though i bestow all my goods to feed the poor.
  • 00:17:28.593 --> 00:17:31.529
  • And though i give my body to be burned.
  • 00:17:31.529 --> 00:17:34.132
  • But have not love, it profits me nothing.
  • 00:17:34.132 --> 00:17:37.869
  • Here's the definition.
  • 00:17:37.869 --> 00:17:39.103
  • Love suffers long.
  • 00:17:39.103 --> 00:17:41.539
  • Love is kind.
  • 00:17:41.906 --> 00:17:44.041
  • Love does not envy.

  • She was brought up in the episcopal church,
  • 00:19:51.602 --> 00:19:53.404
  • The baptist church, the catholic church.
  • 00:19:53.404 --> 00:19:55.506

  • Genuinely seeking to walk with jesus christ?
  • 00:19:58.242 --> 00:20:01.012
  • And the biblical.
  • 00:20:01.012 --> 00:20:02.113
  • Truths are going to be
  • 00:20:02.113 --> 00:20:03.447
  • The foundation of that divine relationship.
  • 00:20:03.447 --> 00:20:06.851
  • Run through some test.
  • 00:20:07.318 --> 00:20:10.288
  • These not exhaustive. always.
  • 00:20:10.921 --> 00:20:12.790
  • My ear didn't mention.
  • 00:20:12.790 --> 00:20:14.692
  • Look how long you will stay here.
  • 00:20:14.692 --> 00:20:18.129
  • So it's not exhaustive any of this.
  • 00:20:18.129 --> 00:20:21.565
  • But these are the broad principles to determine.
  • 00:20:21.565 --> 00:20:24.669
  • Is it fascination?
  • 00:20:25.102 --> 00:20:26.504
  • Is it just chemistry or is it love?
  • 00:20:26.504 --> 00:20:29.473
  • And that takes a lot of these things to put in your grid.
  • 00:20:29.473 --> 00:20:33.344
  • As before, you say.
  • 00:20:33.811 --> 00:20:35.279
  • I do, and i will.
  • 00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:39.617
  • So what we're going to do
  • 00:20:40.184 --> 00:20:41.652
  • Is present biblical principles for falling in love,
  • 00:20:41.652 --> 00:20:46.390
  • For being in love, for staying in love.
  • 00:20:46.390 --> 00:20:49.393
  • How do you stay in love?
  • 00:20:49.393 --> 00:20:51.762
  • Learn the love language of your main man.
  • 00:20:51.762 --> 00:20:55.966
  • Learn the love language of your wife.
  • 00:20:55.966 --> 00:20:58.636
  • Wives, learn the love language of your husband.
  • 00:20:58.636 --> 00:21:01.272
  • And i'll walk you through that in days to come.
  • 00:21:01.272 --> 00:21:04.308
  • As we go through the first great, biblical marriage.
  • 00:21:04.308 --> 00:21:07.611
  • Okay.
  • 00:21:07.611 --> 00:21:10.715
  • So here we are.
  • 00:21:11.082 --> 00:21:13.984
  • Here we are. now,
  • 00:21:13.984 --> 00:21:17.021
  • Let's flip through to something
  • 00:21:17.655 --> 00:21:20.558
  • That's very, very important
  • 00:21:21.158 --> 00:21:24.128
  • In ephesians
  • 00:21:24.462 --> 00:21:25.463
  • Chapter five, verse 32,
  • 00:21:25.463 --> 00:21:28.532
  • Ephesians five, paul is talking about
  • 00:21:28.532 --> 00:21:31.335
  • This is how a husband conducts himself.
  • 00:21:31.335 --> 00:21:33.838
  • This is how wife conducts himself.
  • 00:21:33.838 --> 00:21:36.374
  • This is how the home functions biblically.
  • 00:21:36.374 --> 00:21:39.744
  • And finally paul ends up and he says,
  • 00:21:39.744 --> 00:21:42.747
  • Marriage.
  • 00:21:43.047 --> 00:21:43.781
  • Is a great mystery.
  • 00:21:43.781 --> 00:21:45.649
  • You remember that for you.
  • 00:21:45.649 --> 00:21:47.385
  • It is what the marriage of the great.
  • 00:21:47.385 --> 00:21:49.754
  • Mystery,
  • 00:21:49.754 --> 00:21:51.655
  • A great mystery.
  • 00:21:51.655 --> 00:21:54.291
  • What is that great mystery?
  • 00:21:54.291 --> 00:21:57.361
  • Okay.
  • 00:21:57.595 --> 00:21:58.396
  • What is this.
  • 00:21:58.396 --> 00:22:00.197
  • Mysterious secret
  • 00:22:00.197 --> 00:22:02.066
  • About marriage that some people miss
  • 00:22:02.066 --> 00:22:04.802
  • And therefore it, what is this great mystery?
  • 00:22:04.802 --> 00:22:10.674
  • Great mystery is.
  • 00:22:11.108 --> 00:22:14.145
  • Marriage is not a contract.
  • 00:22:14.145 --> 00:22:17.248
  • It's not an agreement.
  • 00:22:17.715 --> 00:22:20.384
  • It's not a settled own
  • 00:22:20.384 --> 00:22:21.919
  • Legal relationship.
  • 00:22:21.919 --> 00:22:25.156
  • It is a.
  • 00:22:25.423 --> 00:22:26.824
  • Covenant.
  • 00:22:26.824 --> 00:22:29.393
  • The secret mystery of
  • 00:22:29.894 --> 00:22:31.595
  • Marriage that a lot of people don't understand.
  • 00:22:31.595 --> 00:22:34.532
  • It is a covenant.
  • 00:22:34.532 --> 00:22:36.133
  • Marriage is not to do it.
  • 00:22:36.133 --> 00:22:39.170
  • It's a trio.
  • 00:22:39.170 --> 00:22:40.704
  • Look at the covenant triangle.
  • 00:22:40.704 --> 00:22:42.373
  • If you would.
  • 00:22:42.373 --> 00:22:45.509
  • Husband.
  • 00:22:45.776 --> 00:22:46.911
  • Notice the arrow as the husband draws closer to god.
  • 00:22:46.911 --> 00:22:50.648
  • As a wife draws closer to god.
  • 00:22:51.248 --> 00:22:54.418
  • Look, they're getting closer to one another.
  • 00:22:54.418 --> 00:22:56.587
  • Do you see it?
  • 00:22:56.587 --> 00:22:58.022
  • Yeah.
  • 00:22:58.022 --> 00:22:58.856
  • Oh, that sounds like biblical truth.
  • 00:22:58.856 --> 00:23:00.391
  • No, that's absolutely 100% accurate.
  • 00:23:00.391 --> 00:23:03.127
  • And it works.
  • 00:23:03.127 --> 00:23:04.195
  • Every single time the husband gets closer to god,
  • 00:23:04.195 --> 00:23:07.598
  • The wife is closer to god.
  • 00:23:07.598 --> 00:23:09.366
  • And in the covenant, they become not a duet,
  • 00:23:09.366 --> 00:23:12.803
  • But a trio.
  • 00:23:12.803 --> 00:23:13.971
  • Because god and his biblical principles.
  • 00:23:13.971 --> 00:23:16.640
  • Are in the heart of it.
  • 00:23:16.640 --> 00:23:18.876
  • Let me tell you something.
  • 00:23:18.876 --> 00:23:19.577
  • If you're married, you just,
  • 00:23:19.577 --> 00:23:20.945
  • This is one and one in the marriage.
  • 00:23:20.945 --> 00:23:23.447
  • I'm always right.
  • 00:23:23.447 --> 00:23:25.182
  • I'm speaking and always drawing hard lines in the sand.
  • 00:23:25.182 --> 00:23:29.353
  • There's all this debating going on.
  • 00:23:29.353 --> 00:23:31.555
  • Let me tell you something.
  • 00:23:31.555 --> 00:23:33.224
  • I was married 50 plus years.
  • 00:23:33.224 --> 00:23:34.992
  • I've been married now, going on four years.
  • 00:23:34.992 --> 00:23:37.761
  • Marriage, in my experience.
  • 00:23:38.362 --> 00:23:41.799
  • Sinful.
  • 00:23:42.032 --> 00:23:42.867
  • Flawed that i am many, many ways.
  • 00:23:42.867 --> 00:23:46.604
  • Marriage is exciting for a feeling of blessing.
  • 00:23:46.604 --> 00:23:50.307
  • It is a joy
  • 00:23:50.307 --> 00:23:52.409
  • Because god's
  • 00:23:52.776 --> 00:23:54.512
  • Biblical principles work.
  • 00:23:54.512 --> 00:23:57.047
  • And if that is not happening with exciting creativity
  • 00:23:57.047 --> 00:24:01.151
  • In your marriage, you're not following god's principles
  • 00:24:01.151 --> 00:24:05.256
  • For this most important foundational relationship.
  • 00:24:05.256 --> 00:24:08.859
  • You got it.
  • 00:24:08.859 --> 00:24:09.660
  • That's true.
  • 00:24:09.660 --> 00:24:12.796
  • Some of you look like.
  • 00:24:12.796 --> 00:24:13.898
  • Wow. oh, yeah.
  • 00:24:13.898 --> 00:24:17.334
  • See, marriage.
  • 00:24:17.668 --> 00:24:18.569
  • Is the.
  • 00:24:18.569 --> 00:24:19.637
  • Physical relationship.
  • 00:24:19.637 --> 00:24:20.971
  • That's a metaphor for the marriage.
  • 00:24:20.971 --> 00:24:23.807
  • You and i have with god. through jesus christ.
  • 00:24:23.807 --> 00:24:26.143
  • Our salvation.
  • 00:24:26.143 --> 00:24:29.046
  • So we're going back to the fundamentals.
  • 00:24:29.046 --> 00:24:31.148
  • And it is a covenant.
  • 00:24:31.148 --> 00:24:34.285
  • And when we realize.
  • 00:24:34.285 --> 00:24:35.619
  • That god, his principles.
  • 00:24:35.619 --> 00:24:38.656
  • Are at the heart and center
  • 00:24:39.256 --> 00:24:41.825
  • Of every one of our marriages,
  • 00:24:41.825 --> 00:24:44.929
  • That will change.
  • 00:24:44.929 --> 00:24:47.197
  • Everything.
  • 00:24:47.197 --> 00:24:50.334
  • If your marriage isn't sizzling.
  • 00:24:50.334 --> 00:24:56.674
  • Something is.
  • 00:24:57.041 --> 00:24:57.975
  • Wrong.
  • 00:24:57.975 --> 00:25:00.244
  • And you are not living out plain, clear,
  • 00:25:00.244 --> 00:25:05.516
  • Practical principles of a biblical marriage.
  • 00:25:05.516 --> 00:25:12.056
  • Everybody wants a happy home.
  • 00:25:12.690 --> 00:25:15.693
  • But let's be honest.
  • 00:25:15.693 --> 00:25:17.194
  • A happy home doesn't just happen.

  • It's built.
  • 00:25:20.097 --> 00:25:21.365
  • It's shaped.
  • 00:25:21.365 --> 00:25:22.800
