Marriage is a reflection of the gospel in how Jesus has loved the church. While marriage on earth may be a mystery (Eph. 5:32), it becomes clear when we see that Jesus offers the picture of the perfect marriage (Eph. 5:33) in how he loved the church (Eph. 5:25). And never forget: God wants you to have a healthy marriage!!

Pillars of a healthy marriage:

1. Spiritual unity
2. Commitment to fidelity
3. Unconditional love
4. Open communication
5. Mutual respect
6. Forgiveness and reconciliation
7. Shared goals and values
8. Serving one another
