We Met in a Bar

EEQ

I believe in one God, and that He has a path for each of us. A quote from our engaged encounter that I enjoyed was “Striving for unity, not happiness, is the primary goal of Christian marriage.” Here are today’s questions.

1. How is God calling us to be one?

2. How do I feel when I hear that unity, rather than happiness, is the number one goal of our marriage? What is my understanding of unity in marriage?

3. If we each have a different faith, have I shared my concerns over how we will each worship?

Darling, I can’t thank you enough for this brief post. My fiance and I will be attending our Engaged Encounter in March {May wedding} and we are eager to get into things. Thank you! This is so good, so needed, and so right in preparation for a Christian marriage. Also, since I know the which Christian tradition EE is from, I’m equally grateful for this. All to often, my friends from other Christian traditions presume that Christ is not at the center of the marriage. Thank you for evidencing otherwise!

Thanks for posting this…I’m attending our engaged encounter next weekend and your post has given me a proper perspective on what to expect.
