Getting Marriage Wrong, Sermon 1

Barriers To A Strong Family Series

By Dr. David Burrows, May 03, 2026

Genesis 2.18-25

According to God, who gave us the family, families matter.

Marriage matters to God

We Are Created For Marriage.

Ways We Get Marriage Wrong

We want to be able to define marriage to fit our preferences.

Marriage is between a man and a woman.

Marriage is a life time commitment.

We fail to realize the value and purpose of the opposite sex in our lives.
There is a uniqueness in the relationship between a man and woman that cannot be replicated in any other relationship.
We cheapen the one flesh relationship.
**Sexual Sin** All sexual sin alters God’s intent and design for man. It is an uneven exchange between what God intends and our rejection of that intent for something less.
Lack of repentance and forgiveness.
Failure show kindness and tenderness.
*No other human relationship can replace marriage. Get marriage right*.
