John Mark Comer is the senior pastor at Bridgetown Church, Portland Oregon, one of the least-churched cities in America. He is an international speaker and author of Loveology — a book about God, love, marriage, sex and dating.
In this podcast, John Mark discusses five theological “why’s” behind marriage. Many of us, in secular progressive cultures, enter marriage to be happy, yet this motivation does not lead to flourishing. Marriage is for friendship, gardening, sex, family and re-creation.
