Keith Craft: Marriage is two funerals and ONE resurrection.
Marriage is two funerals and ONE resurrection.
The thought behind the quote
The downside of a resurrection is that there has to be a death. When you decide to get married, you are making a decision to die to yourself, what you want first and your self-interest. Biblical marriage is being willing to put another person before yourself for the rest of your life. It is a commitment to meet another person's needs, even if your own needs are not met. Marriage is not a 50/50 proposition. It is a 100% commitment to WE, and a willingness to die to ME.
