Hard Questions, Honest Answers: What’s the Purpose of Marriage? | Genesis 2:18–25; Ephesians 5:31–32

Today we launch our new series, Hard Questions, Honest Answers, by going back to the foundation—marriage.

Marriage isn’t a trend. It’s not a vibe. It’s not a trial run. It’s a covenant created by God to display something bigger than us—the Gospel.

In this message, Pastor Douglas Humphrey walks through five God-given purposes for marriage:

To cultivate a life-giving relationship

To satisfy our God-given desire for intimacy

To model Christ’s love for the Church and our response

Whether you’re married, divorced, dating, or single—this message will challenge your assumptions, reframe your thinking, and re-anchor your view of marriage in God’s Word.
