Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. - Romans 5

The Marriage by Darrin Patrick, during an Acts 29 conference for pastors in preparation for ministry. This is the best marriage sermon I have ever listened to hands down (and I've seen at least 50+ on youtube on Vimeo)

Here are my notes (5 whole pages!!!):

Edit: I've decided that if I have a daughter, and a Godly man comes to me asking for her hand in courtship, I will ask him to watch all of these sermons (I will have saved them on my computer by that time) and have him write a 20 page essay (maybe 10...but hey, mine is 50 pages long) on Biblical Marriage and how to be a man. If he is willing to do this, and his essay beats my essay from now (2014), then I will be confident he knows my daughter is worth it, and will treat her how beloved daughter of God deserves to be treated.

Still...this applies:
