Christian Marriage Is Not Only a Tiny Taste of God's Love

Marriage is meant to point us to christ, but it's also meant to disappoint us. Even the best human relationship could only ever be a tiny echo of jesus love for us. We mustn't forget christian marriage was counticultural from the first in the greco roman world. For them, it was fine for them to sleep with other women, and often with other men as well. And if we are asked to tell somebody why we believe that marriage is between one man and one woman, let's tell them the gospel. There is no other truly biblical way to answer that question.
