Marriage and the Life of Faith

Episode 77 - 

Life-long commitments like marriage and being a Christian are sources of our life’s greatest meaning and joy. Yet they also come with their fair share of difficulty (understatement?).  Life choices of that import, carried forward over time, invariably encounter challenges.  Figuring out, therefore, how to persevere in the face of those challenges is paramount.

Chad takes the lead in this “Life is a Dance” kind of episode.  Ben follows, worming his way into the conversation with the wit of a middle-school math teacher.  The two tango over this all-too-relatable, relational reality.  When it comes to the emotions of love, why doesn’t the early, lovey-dovey stage last?  In what way is the life span of a believer like that which is experienced in a marriage?  How might math equations and story writing help us make better sense of the difficulties we encounter as committed Christians and husbands and wives?
