SESSION 4: MARRIAGE IN AN AGE OF OBSESSION BY: Tim Chilvers DATE: Sunday 22 May 2022 BIBLE PASSAGES: Proverbs (Chapter 18, verses 22) 1 Corinthians (Chapter 7, verses 8-24) The ancient scholar, Gregory of Nyssa, once wrote that marriage is the “Sweet rivalry of each wishing to surpass the other in loving”. In a world that is fixated by romance, the biblical perspective on marriage is very surprising. It’s only as we discover how unimportant marriage really is, that we discover the tools for life-changing marriages! The crisis of Covid has distanced us from each other. We see anew how far apart we are. The result must be a new way to bring us together.’ (Jon Yates)
