God's Design for Marriage | Marriage Devotional Week 2

Did God design marriage? In week two of the Marriage After God devotional series, Aaron and Jennifer Smith make the case that marriage is God's intentional design, not a human invention, noting that only a small fraction of the animal kingdom is monogamous. Using the picture of Lego pieces that come with a manual, they explain that husbands and wives are equal in value but different in need, with men deeply needing respect and women needing love (Ephesians 5:33). They stress that your obedience to God is not contingent on your spouse's behavior, warn against becoming a stumbling block (Romans 14:13), and encourage couples to run to the Holy Spirit in heated moments.
