This Momentary Marriage unpacks the biblical vision for marriage,
its unexpected contours, and its weighty implications for married,
single, divorced and remarried alike. There has never been a
generation who has had a high enough view of marriage. And this is
even more true today. Though selfishness and cultural bondage
obstruct the wonder of God's purpose, his vision for marriage in
the Bible frees us from small, romance-intoxicated views. As John
Piper explains, 'Most foundationally, marriage is the doing of God.
And ultimately, marriage is the display of God. It displays the
covenant-keeping love between Christ and his people to the world in
a way that no other event or institution does. Marriage, therefore,
is not mainly about being in love. It is mainly about telling the
truth with our lives. And staying married is not about staying in
love. It is about keeping covenant and putting the glory of
Christ's covenant-keeping love on display.' Reflecting on forty
years of marriage to Noel, John Piper exalts the biblical meaning
of marriage, exhorting couples to keep their covenant, for all the
best reasons.
