God Is On Display In Marriage

“I’m not a dog in heat, I’m a covenant keeper! We are not blown around by the billboards, the internet, movies, the television. We’ve got roots in reality, in Genesis, in creation. We don’t blow. We stand. All hell breaks loose against this marriage. We stand. There are many wimps in the world. Men and women. I’m in the business of putting fiber in the backbones of wimps. God never leaves his wife. He never divorced her. He wooed her back every time. Marriage is on display here. God is on display in marriage.”
- John Piper, This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence

I think one of the most dramatic ways God is on display is through a transormational discipline called daily couple prayer! We as Christians have our "head in the sand" on this one. Research confirms the power of it and yet less than 1% of believers pray with their spouse daily.
