Marriage was the topic of the Institute this past week. We had the opportunity to talk about the importance of marriage and how marriage can glorify God. The overarching point that stood out to me this week was the fact that marriage is something that you really have to work at. When you get married there are many responsibilities that come along that are not always thought about. People tend to think that marriage is one big happy party, which it is fun, but they do forget about the difficulties and strife that you have to work through in order to have a successful marriage. Marriage ultimately should be God centered and the husband and wife should love the Lord first and their spouse second.
