The Profound Symbolic Meaning of Marriage - Scripture Reflection for Oct. 6, 2024 by Priests for Life

The challenges and struggles of being a godly husband are real. That's why it's important to seek help and encouragement every step of the way. Since its publication in 2011, The Meaning of Marriage by the late pastor and author Tim Keller has provided insight and guidance for men seeking to make their marriage all God wants it to be. Today, we discuss three key quotes from The Meaning of Marriage and some related Scripture verses that point us in the right direction as husbands and fathers. Unity, sacrifice, and love are three defining features of a godly marriage, and Keller's book gives us a good idea of what it looks like to become a husband that embodies those attributes. Whether you've read it before and need a refresher, or you're hearing about it for the first time, The Meaning of Marriage and Keller's key principles found within can make a difference in your life and your marriage.

"Marriage is a relationship in which a woman never gets what she expects and a man never expects what he gets," so said a pundit. Another cynic tells of a conversation a dad had with his school-age boy, who asked, "Dad, I hear that in some parts of Africa a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her.  Is that right?" and the dad replies, "That happens in most countries, son."

It is critical that we have a firm grasp of the Bible's teaching on the family so that we can resist challenges both from the world and from professing Christians. Jesus' own responses to such challenges demonstrate some biblical priorities in family matters.

Part 1 of Love & Marriage

Guest Pastor JP Dorsey joins us to remind us that marriage is about two whole people coming together and showing God's love for us, and that it is out of our abundance that we give to not just our spouse but to all of our relationships.   To know more about RCC check us out online at rcc4me.com  

A true, sacramental Christian marriage is the domestic church. It is the manifestation, between a man and a woman, of the bond of love which exists between the head and the body, between Jesus Christ and his Church. And a marriage, a godly marriage, functions and flourishes according to the same grace that governs how we, as the body of Christ, love our Head, Jesus Christ, in obedience. Authority, in the sense of servant-leadership, is foundational and necessary in all divinely appointed relationships. It even exists within the Godhead. And if a marriage is going to be godly, good, and beautiful, it will exist there as well.

Guests: Mike Thornberry and Gabe Boyd   Chapter 7 Singleness and Marriage   Paul was probably single, Jesus was a single man - singleness is not a curse or a weakness - it can truly be a gift in terms of time and single-minded attention and devotion to service to the Lord.   Singleness and marriage are both good and valuable and both should be dedicated to serving the Lord.   Gabe - your identity is not in being single. Your identity is that you're a follower of Jesus. Put your identity in the things that won't/can't change.   Keller gives some excellent wisdom for a person who is single. If you understand the value and role of marriage, it will help you understand how you should navigate being single.   Chapter 8 Sex and Marriage   Keller - why does God confine sexual activity exclusively to marriage?   Mike - sex in marriage is a way to actually know God.   Dan - Christianity is not anti-sex or teaching a principle that sex is repressive - Christianity presents the most freeing and fulfilling concept of human sexuality possible - the way God designed it to be!   Sex without marriage is like eating food without tasting or swallowing it.   Mike - his Pope John Paul statement that porn doesn't show too much, but too little. Think about that!   Gabe - quoting Martin Luther - you can't stop birds from flying over your head, but you can stop them from making a nest in your hair. The idea is that you can't avoid temptation, but you still have a choice as to whether you'll pursue that temptation and act on it or if you'll fight against it.   Dan - sex is akin to super glue - be careful what you stick to - because when you rip two things apart that have become one, it's very, very harmful and damaging!   Mike - encouragement to surround yourself with true friends who will speak truth to you!   Mike - if you're struggling, ASK for help.

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 Finally, Training4Manhood is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and donations are tax deductible.

Guests: Mike Thornberry and Gabe Boyd   Chapter 3 The Essence of Marriage is grounded in Ephesians 5:31 (and Genesis 2:24) For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be united to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh.   Chapter 4 The Mission of Marriage is grounded in Ephesians 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.   Gabe - the Word of God helps us understand what marriage is as God has designed as opposed to what the world thinks marriage should be.   Dan - marriage, from a Biblical standpoint, is the idea that anyone you're having sex with is a person you are “uniting” and becoming one flesh - God has provided a place for that physical and sexual connection - within the bounds of marriage.   Mike - “covenant” is the promise of future love - this means that covenant love lasts regardless of emotion - it rides on intention, it is an act of the will. A “covenant” marriage is not about my happiness and it doesn't survive (or thrive) because of how the other person acts, but how you choose to serve them!   Mike - the anchor of our marriage should be our identity in Christ - everything else rocks with the waves!   Gabe - when you're a “consumer” of something, it's difficult (impossible) to actually figure out how to “satisfy” or “please” another person - or even be satisfied or happy yourself.   Mike - everything is marketed to your individual benefit as a consumer, even marriage.   Gabe - within the idea of “covenant” there is a protection so that you can truly be vulnerable and fully “known.” Dan - if you have a problem in your marriage, start praying for your spouse.   Mike - show me a husband and a wife who are praying together, they aren't getting a divorce.   Dan - the essence of marriage is a profound and significant friendship!   Dan - can you be “unequally yoked” - meaning, can you connect your life with another person who does not have Christ at the center of their life…if Christ is at the center of yours?   Gabe - what is friendship in general - great place to start when you think about the idea and concept of marriage.   Mike - I am my wife's CEO - Chief Encouragement Officer!!!   Keller - marriage has the power to set your life as a whole.   Keller - no other human being should get more of your love, energy, industry and commitment than your spouse.

Guests: Mike Thornberry and Gabe Boyd   Tim Keller begins the book by talking about the importance of marriage from God's design in comparison to what the world thinks about the institution of marriage. He shares some powerful statistics about the decline of marriage in America and then shares a very powerful comment from comedian Chris Rock who said, “Do you want to be single and lonely or married and bored?” The institution of marriage has fully morphed into something that is solely for my personal pleasure - and Keller believes that is not God's design or intent for marriage!   Chapter 1 - “A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. This is a profound mystery…” Ephesians 5:31-32   T4M is all about the idea that being a man is about being Christ-centered and other-focused, not self-absorbed.    Gabe: marriage has to be seen through the lens of the Gospel.   Dan: marriage, like the Gospel, is life-transforming and makes us better people.   Mike: when I first got married, I didn't have a good definition of love. “Love is the commitment of my will to the betterment of your needs regardless of the cost to me.” From Tim Kimmel, Grace Filled Marriage.   Gabe: you can only give what you've been given. You have to have a relationship with Christ to truly understand God's design for marriage.   Keller: Marriage used to be a public institution for the common good, and now it is a private arrangement for the satisfaction of the individuals. Marriage used to be about us, but now it is about me.   Dan: Marriage, as an institution the way that God has designed it, doesn't make sense without the foundation of a life that has been transformed by the love and grace of Jesus Christ. Do you have to truly understand God's design for marriage to get married - no, but you won't be able to enjoy God's design for sex unless you experience it in it's proper place within the boundary and protection of marriage. It's like fire - in the fireplace, it's great; outside the fireplace, it's destructive.   Chapter 2 - “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.” Ephesians 5:21   Mike: I wasn't trying to help my spouse for a long time, I was trying to “fix” her. Big difference.   Dan: God loved us while we were yet sinners, and the walk of obedience changes us into the image of Christ. Marriage, when done God's way, helps change us into the men and women that God desires.   Gabe: Keller writes, “Seek to serve one another rather than to be happy and you will find a new and deeper happiness.” This may sound ridiculous - but it's true. The end result of marriage is that we would love each other for the glory of God, not our own selfish desires.

Geoffrey Chaucer begins The Canterbury Tales describing the beauty of April and the countryside coming back to life. It is the time, he tells us, “Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages.” “And specially,” he adds, “from every shires ende / Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende.” A small company of pilgrims forms and, as the go, each tells a tale.  Like the Samaritan woman Jesus spoke with in John chapter four, The Wife of Bath says she has had five husbands not to mention “other companye in youthe.” She is a wealthy woman who had been on pilgrimage as far as Jerusalem. She is also rather fond of sex and knows quite a bit about marriage. Prof. Adam Cooper has been reading The Canterbury Tales with Wyoming Catholic College juniors and shared these thoughts.

What does God want from your marriage? Do you know the meaning of marriage? This week Pastor Philip continues our series through Malachi as we discuss God's plan for your marriage. 

Relationships in a fallen world have never been easy, but it seems like they are more difficult than ever these days. In Scripture, God demonstrates what kingdom-centered relationships look like, and then calls us to imitate Him in covenantal love. Of course, the power for this love only comes from the overflow of the love we have in Christ. Join us as we learn to do relationships from the overflow of God's love and His community.

Welcome back to this weeks solo episode with your host Eliana. Its been too long. Tune in as I catch up with you and discuss the meaning of marriage to me and hear the perspectives of other women on the topic. We go over timing, ultimatums and having the dreaded "marriage" conversation.

Does our society really need marriage after all? Can't couples who want to spend the rest of their lives together just cohabitate? And can't co-parenting outside of marriage work just fine for kids? It's obvious that the concept of marriage has shifted quite a bit over the years (even within the church). And the truth is that if we continue to redefine it, we risk losing the tremendous value marriage provides to society. In this episode, Patrick, Keith, and Dan discuss the ways in which our culture has redefined and demeaned the institution of marriage. Citing examples from recent articles in The New York Times, they call out the elite's hypocritical motives behind their agenda.

Teacher: Jeff Parker. Culture is downstream from the family. So goes marriages, so goes families, so goes communities, so goes cultures. God has designed marriages to be a firm foundation that leads to flourishing. When we continually confess and repent of our sins, forgive, and celebrate one another, we are able to walk in the fulness of what marriage was meant to be.        Enjoyed the message?
