BGM02-1 Life Principle #1: Unconditional Love | Building a Great Marriage

Most of us enter marriage expecting it to solve our problems, but what happens when the 'honeymoon phase' fades? Welcome to Session 1, part 1, of 'Building A Great Marriage.' Today, we’re diving into Life Principle #1: Unconditional Love.

Why are there so many bad marriages? As Paul J. Bucknell points out in Session 2 of our series, the issue isn't a 'design' problem—God’s design is perfect—it’s a 'construction' problem. Many of us know the truth but struggle to act upon it, building our homes on sand instead of the Rock.

In this session, we transition from the hope established in Session 1 to the first great pillar of a healthy marriage: Unconditional Love. We examine the high calling found in Ephesians 5, where marriage is revealed as a mystery reflecting Christ’s love for the Church. We will challenge the worldly idea of 'conditional love' and replace it with a commitment to love even when it isn't earned.
