Welcome to our Church Family 22nd October 2017

Marriage
There are as many jokes about marriage as Irishmen. The jokes normally revolve around a man’s loss of freedom and a woman’s desire to control. For example, this from that marriage expert Frank Sinatra, “a man doesn’t know what happiness is until he’s married… but by then it’s too late.”
Like sex from last week, marriage is about a union of a man and woman entered into voluntary for life, marriage is amazingly also about the raising of children in safety and love whilst also being for the well-being of society.
God’s creation of marriage is so we find it easier to worship and serve him. God created marriage to help society be structured by relationships which thrive, both individually and collectively.
Today from God’s word we’ll discover God’s love of marriage .
