Drawing from Ephesians 5:21, the sermon argues that God designed marriage as a covenant of selfless love, not a contract of mutual expectations. Because every person is naturally self-centered, treating marriage like a negotiated contract always produces resentment, fights, and disappointment. The only path to a truly healthy marriage is submitting personal expectations in order to pursue a spouse's deepest hopes and dreams — mirroring the sacrificial, unconditional love Jesus has for His church. That kind of covenantal love is only possible when both spouses have first submitted their lives to Jesus.
