What is the true purpose of marriage? (Hint: It's NOT living happily ever after 🙃)
For many folks, marriage is a union in which two people who love one another spend a lifetime of happiness together. And while that's true, that's not the full picture. Since marriage was God's idea, we must look to His Word for a complete understanding of His purpose for it.
In this episode of #BoldenMatrimony, Rob and Kori discuss the true, biblical purpose of marriage compared with previous misconceptions they had.
"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless." - Ephesians 5:25-27

Blessings! Appreciate you for tapping in
I enjoyed listening to this conversation. Thank you both for your insight on marriage. Kori, thank you for sharing how you once idolized marriage and saw it as a fantasy. I think that may be the phase I'm in 🫣 lol. I know you talked about repenting and submitting yourself to God for you to come out of that phase. What other steps did you take to not idolize marriage? And how did you know that it was no longer a fantasy/idol for you?

Hey, Blair! My sincere apologies for the delayed response. Great question and thanks for tuning in! The other steps I took came as a result of me surrendering my idea/idolization of marriage to God. What this looked like practically for me was reading/studying God's Word as well as biblically sound books/teachings (i.e., Understanding the Purpose and Power of the Woman by Dr. Myles Munroe) to get a clear understanding of God's purpose for marriage. With this came an increased understanding of what it truly means to be a wife from a biblical standpoint. It's not the fairytale, "happily ever after" fantasy that I picked up from many movies and romance novels. It was about learning to submit to and serve God in my singleness. Honoring my commitment to God became the primary focus -- not finding a husband. That's how I knew marriage was no longer a fantasy/idol for me. I hope this is helpful!
