The Purpose of Marriage

The concept of marriage is explored as not merely a societal contract but as an opportunity for 'gospel reenactment.' The Kellers explain that the purpose of marriage is to aid one another in becoming one's 'future glory self' through selfless, sacrificial love. They challenge conventional views that focus on happiness or social status as the primary reasons for entering marriage, emphasizing instead that true fulfillment comes from serving each other. This approach encourages spouses to adopt a servant mindset, recognizing that love is primarily action-based, evolving from service rather than fleeting feelings.
