and it's such an unpopular perspective because people we we so idolize feelings emotions and physical attraction but watch there's a lot of people that put the feelings emotions physical attraction and chemistry in first place and and they marry and it's really hot and heavy and then they divorce like the bachelor and the bachelorette the tv show
has done us such a great service here because we can see that they have created chemistry. They've put beautiful people in a room. And you get to choose from lots of them. And we have very few weddings from that show. Okay, so my friend Sean Lowe and Catherine, who are believers, and I think it's the Holy Spirit that holds them together, not the show.
And I know that there's been at least one other and maybe a couple more weddings But but for the most part, it's an epic failure in creating a marriage. Epic. Hear me. Quote me. Epic failure in creating a marriage because they prioritize the wrong things. They prioritize the things that the world prioritize. And that's why it's not working out.
yeah so do you think it's wrong though to have like a perspective of like oh this person kind of like completes me yeah i think like or not maybe not complete like oh like they're my missing rib yeah yeah i do i i think it's uh i think this type of person goes really well with me and the argument uh against that theologically would be the sovereignty of god was like but god if god knows everything then god knows who i'm going to end up with which means god created somebody for me to find and i would say god has zero expectations that you would be god
and that you would know what god knows and so god gives you parameters to look for and for the most of history people determined that for you on your behalf like you did not get to speak into who you married for most of history and especially when the bible was written that was true and so for me to think like listen i'm six foot seven i'm weird tall Like LeBron James. I'm weird tall.
My wife is 5'2". I've got dark hair. She has blonde hair. I like guns, motorcycles, and the UFC. She likes babies and puppies. We couldn't be more different, man. I'm an extrovert, go, go, go. She's an introvert. I love vacation. I love big dates at nice restaurants. She loves simple food and game nights in the living room.
We are opposites in so many ways, and that has been a force to be reckoned with because we complement each other so well. if we shared a lot of interest, that could be great too. But I don't think, having been married 20 years, that God made her and me at the same time so that we would only be each other's match. I'll say it like this, Bryce.
Is there someone that Monica could be happier with out there? And the answer is absolutely yes. Is there someone I could be happier with out there? The answer is absolutely yes, but it doesn't matter because we said I do to each other. So we are in a covenant relationship together before God, the creator of the heavens, the earth.
So we will love each other until we both die, regardless of what happens in outdated. I wrote about this couple that they got married and four days in on the honeymoon. She gets a wave, crashes her up against a rock, and she's now a quadriplegic. Now that dude's lot in life is changing her diaper for the rest of the, like, that's like, he, he, is that what he signed up for?
Because the world's going to say, oh, you can, you can let him, you know, you can get out of that. You know, you should be happy, get her a good nurse, whatever. No man, for the rest of his life, he's taking care of her because four days into the honeymoon, she was crashed against a rock and she's now a quadriplegic. And I think it's a beautiful example of Christ.
Straight up.
You got a whole book of the Bible on that. Hey, I want you to love this woman who's paying other dudes to have sex with her.
That's how God loves us.
You mean physical boundaries?
Yeah. I don't either. Yeah.
Not necessarily about the prayer thing, but like, here's why I think it is legalistic is because I cannot think of a verse that So it's a wisdom principle potentially for some. And so if you said, hey, I don't pray with Maddie because it does something to my heart, doesn't guard her heart, Proverbs 4.23, I'd say, man, that's an amazing wisdom principle for you.
But if you said no one should, I would say that's legalism because the Bible doesn't say that. What the Bible says is flee sexual immorality. All other sin a person commits are outside the body. Whoever sins sexually sins against their own body. Do not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. who is in you, whom you've received from God. You're not your own. You've been bought by price.
Therefore, honor God with your body. This is 1 Corinthians 6, 18 through 20. And so what I would say, what I believe the scripture is teaching is,
that when we when our bodies begin to prepare for sex we've gone too far and so we were like hey can I can we kiss I'm like what depends on how you kiss like are you are you like tongue kiss your French kissing like laying down rubbing petting it's like cuz that's unloving man you are revving up that engine and then you're pulling the brake
and then you're leaving and like that's good it's it's painful yeah it's it's unloving it's not kind it's not a kindness to them and you say you love them you say you like them but then you hurt them like what kind of person does that you know and so i don't say that to shame you i'm just like i'm asking i'm genuinely asking the question i was that kind of person by the way so i'm uh it's not judgment it's like man just think about how unwise that is
