This summer I am preforming and/or taking part of several weddings. In all the weddings that I preform I require pre-marital counseling. What I am learning, as I am doing these counseling sessions, is that I still have a lot to learn about marriage. I am learning that I am still a rookie and, although I have been married for almost 6 years, I am still new at it.  

Through the years that Jes and I have know each other it has really been difficult to find older couples who love each other, keep the Gospel centered in their marriage, and fulfill their biblical roles as husband and wife.  Therefore, it is hard for us to have a model to go by for what a Gospel-centered marriage looks like.  I can only assume that other young couples have struggled finding this as well.  

It is my desire to love my wife  more each and everyday as we grow old together. I can only hope and pray for the grace of God to help us through the good and bad. Jes and I desire to be a couple that impacts other couples. We hope to show what the Gospel looks like in marriage. We pray that we can be that old couple that young couples will learn from.

This is a great video posted by the Resurgence on marriage.  In this video, Mark Driscoll interviews Wayne and Margaret Grudem on questions about their marriage. Dr. Grudem is a Bible scholar and has written several great theological works such as his popular work on Systematic Theology.  If you are married or thinking about marriage... you need to take some time and watch this.  It brought tears to my eyes and helped me think through a better vision on what my marriage to Jes should look like. 

Enjoy!
