Most people, at least in the United States, marry for love and because they want to be happy and share their lives with someone. But according to Aaron and Jennifer Smith, authors of Marriage After God: Chasing Boldly After God's Purpose for Your Life Together, the purpose of Christian marriage is much more than just that.

Intentionally choosing to prioritize our marriage once we're parents is difficult at best. Small humans require lots of time and energy, and often leave their parents with little left over for each other. But having a "missional" marriage is more than just making time for a date night.

What if a look at the scriptures could change the entire way you see yours?

Rather than "you and me against the world," God calls each couple to the rich and meaningful mission of "you and me for the world." Tune in to today's episode to learn more!
