PB&J: Key Ingredients for a Better Marriage

Some things are simply meant to go together … like peanut butter and jelly. They are fine on their own, but when combined … wow … they become a whole new, delicious creation. The same truth applies to men and women. Individually, they beautifully and wholly bear God’s image. But when men and women come together in the context of marriage, they become a whole new creation. This is meant to be a good thing, but as we all know, marriage can also be a disaster. If one complements the other, marriage is awesome. But if one tries to overpower the other, marriage can become nauseating. When “peanut butter and jelly” becomes “peanut butter versus jelly” the result is always a food fight. Thankfully, Jesus offers us something better.
