In John 2 we get the first significant miracle recorded of Jesus’ ministry and that is the wedding at Cana. The institution of marriage is God given, Gen 2:24, and understood universally in all cultures as the basis for society’s well being and prosperity. Today Ross takes a wider look at marriage and examines why marriage rates have fallen and why it is not seen as vital or necessary.
Another aspect Ross looks at is how we are living as both single and married people in terms of sexual conduct and thought life, and how sex outside of a covenant marriage relationship is damaging to both the individual and those around. He asks the question whether we are getting ready for the ultimate wedding and the marriage supper where the Church will be presented spotless to the Lamb.
Preparing for your wedding
Pray for God’s choice
Seek guidance from friends and family
Keep yourself pure Arousal? Song 2:7, Song 5:9, Song 8:4
Learn self control Gal 3:23
Agree on boundaries
Enjoy the wife of your youth - Prov 5:18
Lastly, Ross gives example from his own marriage of nearly 50 years of how we can all prepare for our marriage partner, whether that be you future husband or wife, or as a single to preserve your body as a temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Cor 6:12-20
