“The two shall become one flesh. This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.”

Ephesians 5:31–32 (ESV)

Reflect Together

  • God created marriage at creation (Mark 10:6–9)

  • God made us different on purpose (male + female by design)

  • Marriage is meant to transform us, not just comfort us

  • Covenant love outlasts feelings (Mere Christianity, Lewis)

 

Date Night Starter

  1. When have you felt most loved by me recently?

Live It Out This Week

Choose one together:

  • One act of sacrificial love

  • One unfinished conversation before the sun sets (Eph. 4:26–27)

  • One boundary to guard our hearts (Prov. 6:27–29, 32)

  • One prayer for our future together

 

Pray It Out Loud

Jesus, make us one like You are one with Your church. Make our relationship a picture of the Gospel—faithful, forgiving, and full of grace. Transform us into the people You designed us to be.

Amen.
