Marriage Building

We've been listening to sermons by Mark Driscoll on marriage. He and his wife, Grace, recently published a book on marriage so the sermon series, which started in January 2012, is based on chapters in the book. We haven't read the book, but listening is great because we were able to listen together on trains.

They have been FANTASTIC! Andy and I both HIGHLY recommend listening to these whether you are single, dating, engaged or married with any number of anniversaries under your belt. The sermons are firmly rooted in Biblical truth, vulnerably honest and offer very practical steps/challenges to move towards God's design for relationship and marriage. We've only listened to the first four in the series (pretty sure there are eight total). I can honestly say that I can't wait to listen to the rest!

Our cruise goal has been to read Tim Keller's book, "The Meaning of Marriage", as recommended by our pastor, Dwayne Cline. We are both halfway through and so far it's been mostly theological and has emphasized points on pursuing holiness and fueling friendship. We expect the next half will be a bit more practical.

If you have been praying for us, THANK YOU! God has been teaching us much about ourselves, each other and marriage. At some point, we'll try to write about our new learnings.
