God desires our marriages to be set apart (Ephesians 5:22-33). God designed marriage to be centered on holiness, not happiness. He shows us throughout scripture that He walks in covenant relationship with His people, and He wants that to be true of our marriages. The Christian marriage should be full of righteousness, joy and peace, and that can only happen when we surrender our marriage to Him. When we do that, we will see that our marriages are truly set apart.
