  9. We serve our mates on behalf of God, not to satisfy ourselves One takeaway • Marriage is first about self-sacrifice and learning to relate to each other as closely as the son and the spirit and the father relate to each other in a loving intimacy • John 17:21I pray that they will all be one, just as you and I are one—as you are in me, Father, and I am in you. And may they be in us so that the world will believe you sent me.
