Most couples spend their entire marriage focused on what's happening inside the relationship. But God had a bigger picture in mind from the very beginning.

In Genesis 1:26, God said something remarkable before He ever created marriage. And what He said changes everything about how you see your intimacy, your covenant, and the life you're building together.

In this episode of What the Church Never Told You About Sex, we're talking about two of the eight things happening every time a married couple comes together, sex as a reflection of God, and sex as a celebration of the covenant you made.

In this episode we cover:

What Genesis 1:26 actually reveals about why God created marriage the way He did

Why your union as husband and wife is a living picture of something bigger than both of you

The real difference between a covenant and a contract, and why it matters more than most couples realize

What Dr. John Gottman's forty years of marriage research says about the problems that will never go away in your relationship, and why that's actually okay

The story of Hosea and Gomer, and what it reveals about the kind of love God designed your marriage to reflect

What happens when the reflection gets distorted, and how God uses even that to draw you back to Him

This episode is for the couple who feels like something is missing but can't name what it is. For the spouse who is tired of fighting the same fights. For anyone who wants their marriage to mean something beyond what happens behind closed doors.Your marriage was put on display the moment you said I do. God is using it to tell a story. The question is whether you know what story you're telling.

This is episode three of a four-part series. New episodes drop weekly.
