The Purpose of Marriage (Paul Washer w/ Dutch)

What is the purpose of marriage? Paul Washer explains that the purpose of marriage is not to fulfill selfish desires, but to glorify God.


Here's a short poem by Youtube's own Abalone Kid Chaim. He sent this to me after seeing this video and was gracious enough to allow me to post it here to share with you.

TO JACKIE AT CHRISTMAS 2006: MY LOVE FOR YOU

Through the majesty of the Savior
I glorify my love for you
In the rush of winds
And torrential rains
In oceans pure
The southern sky
I see your face
In little creatures
The lush desert bloom
In the sunlight of my days
I hear your voice next to mine
Through God's love
I sanctify my love for you
In towering redwoods
The white crescent mountain peaks
In ever-changing sands
And the movement of the sky
I see your touch
And remember

Chaim (The Abalone Kid)

These comments are so interesting...I can't understand because I am seeing such a difference in the young women who stay at home with the children, then expect the husband to come and cook them dinner...do the dishes...give the kids baths...clean and do the laundry. I think most of the young women I know have been very spoiled by their parents and are immature and believe they were put on earth to be served and indulged and catered to...

This is the most beautiful sermon Ive ever heard, amazing Paul Washer!

[raichuubaybee]

Is there another part to this sermon?

[teceyS3]

Sorry ladies but what he is teaching about husbands putting their wives first is Scriptural and Biblical. If that offends you then you need to examine yourself in light of Scripture to see why that is so. He says children aren't strong enough to be surrogate lovers for their mother. You need to carefully and prayerfully listen to what he is saying. I have children and grandchildren.

continued from below: If you love your wife save her children before her. They mean more to her than very self.

[inaiandi]

Only one qualm, there is INDEED nothing like a mothers love, u don't have to teach a woman any sermon on loving her child, but even the bible tells men not to b harsh on their children. No such command for moms, there is nothing on earth like childbearing and nothing like the supernatural real love it results in. Men have to work to love their wife as Christ loves us, but not so for a mother, it is unconditional love poured in us when we push life out of our body. There is NOTHING like it.

awesome

thank God for truth, even though its hard, it feels better to follow it because you know youll get something good out of it. insead of going around in circles doing wrong and never getting anywhere

[MrWappieG]

what attracts me is the conviction in him when he handles the word. it tells me that he knows his Father.

[comedyassassin]

Loving the way you explained? the tutorial :) Really nicely executed :)

I am Roman Catholic and I believe this man is telling the truth. For us Marriage is a Holy Sacrament, a means to grace and to become more like Jesus. Everything Paul Washer says here is true. I really appreciate this man. Thank you for uploading this!
