The simple fact is that only if I love Jesus more than my wife will I be able to serve her needs ahead of my own.
Timothy KellerMen, you'll never be a good groom to your wife unless you're first a good bride to Jesus.
Timothy KellerMarriage is so much like salvation and our relationship with Christ that you canโt understand marriage w/o looking at the gospel.
Timothy KellerOnly if you first seek inner forgiveness will your confrontation be temperate, wise, and gracious. Only when you have lost the need to see the other person hurt will you have any chance of actually bringing about change, reconciliation, and healing. You have to submit to the costly suffering and death of forgiveness if there is going to be any resurrection.
Timothy Keller
