As joyful as marriage can be, there will never be a perfect one. There will be arguments, failures, and mistakes made by both husband and wife. Yet a great marriage is possible with divine enabling and human effort! Alistair Begg introduces us to some of the weeds that may spring up in marriage and encourages us to turn to Scripture and Christ to best honor our spouse and our Lord through the marriage relationship.
4yLet marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge zthe sexually immoral and adulterous.
15Drink owater from your own cistern,
flowing water from your own well.
16Should your psprings be scattered abroad,
streams of water qin the streets?
17rLet them be for yourself alone,
and not for strangers with you.
18Let your ofountain be blessed,
and srejoice in tthe wife of your youth,
19a lovely udeer, a graceful doe.
Let her breasts vfill you at all times with delight;
be intoxicated4 always in her love.
20Why should you be intoxicated, my son, with wa forbidden woman
and embrace the bosom of wan adulteress?5
21For xa man's ways are ybefore the eyes of the Lord,
and he zponders6 all his paths.
22The ainiquities of the wicked bensnare him,
and he is held fast in the cords of his sin.
23cHe dies for lack of discipline,
and because of his great folly he is dled astray.
