Love and Marriage

What happens when your deepest fear becomes reality? When the one person who promised to love you forever betrays that trust completely? 

After discovering my wife's affair, I faced a devastating choice that would forever change my understanding of God's love. Standing in my living room, hyperventilating with grief, I heard God whisper an invitation not to justified anger, but to something far more difficult – and ultimately transformative.

Marriage isn't ultimately about our happiness, but something far greater. It's the most intimate picture we have of Christ's relationship with his church, designed to reveal how God loves us unconditionally. This perspective revolutionizes how we approach our relationships, whether married, single, or healing from past wounds.

Drawing from Colossians and 1 Corinthians, we explore biblical marriage as other-focused rather than self-focused. When spouses love each other not because they've earned it, but because God loves them, marriage becomes a powerful channel of healing. Conversely, when we focus primarily on getting our own needs met, we unintentionally destroy the fabric of our relationships.

My journey through betrayal, single fatherhood, and eventual redemption reveals how God works through our deepest pain to show us His character. Six boys under six, a two-bedroom apartment, and two broken people with mountains of baggage – not exactly a fairy tale beginning. Yet God used this unlikely new marriage to demonstrate His faithfulness and restore what seemed irreparably damaged.

Whether you're navigating the challenges of marriage, healing from divorce, or seeking God's design for relationships, this message offers hope that no matter what you've experienced or what you've done, God is not finished with your story. His redemptive power can transform even our most painful chapters into testimonies of His grace.
