This summer our preaching series is focused on families, marriages, and roles in the household.  I came across this great analysis of marriage:

Tim Keller (Gospel Coalition 2009) - “The key to a marriage is simply reenacting the gospel to each other. You can talk about communication skills or other stuff, and they’re all good, but basically knowing how to forgive and knowing how to repent… If you both can forgive and repent, it doesn’t matter how different you are, you’ll be okay. Two Christians who are married [can make it], no matter how incompatible… if you can repent and forgive.”
