…as Christ loved the church Ephesians 5:25 Marriage is to be a picture of the relationship between Christ and His called, and the beauty of this goodness is available in abiding in Christ. The desire of our ministry to the engaged, the newlyweds, the veterans of marriage, and to those suffering, is to renew our first love while bettering our actions of love to our spouse or spouse to be, in order to bring God glory. …and laugh together as often as we can while we do so.
