Marriage is one of the most powerful relationships that we can participate in, as human beings. The first book of the Bible establishes marriage as the foundation for human connection. Families are produced, homes are situated, and cultures extend from the central point of marriage. While marriage is an important institution, it also challenges both husband and wife to go beyond their limitations to connect with each other. As we gain a deeper understanding of God’s design for marriage, we can invest in our marriages with purpose and intention.

We cherish our marriage relationships, and we don’t want anyone or anything to come between our love for one another. To do this, we must be committed to ask God to maintain a “Hedge of Protection” around our marriage, to preserve the integrity of our relationship.

However, our Lord also expects us to do all we can, as empowered by the Holy Spirit, to protect our marriage.  When you have a picture taken as a couple, an experienced photographer may ask you to assume several poses.  In this week’s edition of PathLight, Dr. T. D. Worthington challenges us to pose for three distinct pictures as we embrace what it means to be a couple.
