Message: Developing Realistic Expectations
Series: Building Fireproof Relationships
Pastor Larry Shantz speaking
May 16/17, 2009
Many people have unrealistic expectations about marriage that can cause them to become discouraged and disillusioned in their marriages. The tendency to see those around us as having “the perfect marriage”, the idealistic romances that are perpetrated by Hollywood and novels, and the idea that marriage will be an escape that will meet all our needs and solve all our problems are just a few reasons why we may develop unrealistic expectations about marriage. This week, we want to look at how God sees marriage as a high and honourable calling and what it takes to make marriage work, God’s way.
