Christian Marriages: Ideal vs. Real

Overview

Christians tend to be the ultimate idealists. Of all people, we have the highest aspirations—to become Christlike and to glorify God—so we hold ourselves and other believers to a high standard of godly behavior. We expect Christian marriages to be something bigger and better than secular relationships. Shouldn’t Christian homes be peaceful and well-ordered, characterized by constant harmony, a spiritual atmosphere, pure motives, and financial stability? The purpose of this study is to see ourselves as God sees us, and to understand his expectations of our time together as married believers.
