Christmas is a time for memories with family and friends. Unfortunately, for many, Christmas is a filled with memories of frustration and pain. Unresolved marital arguments come to the surface. Fights between extended family members ruin holiday meals. How can the broken relationships that litter our lives be fixed? In Isaiah 42, we find God the Father sent us a gift in his son Jesus. Jesus came to restore the relationships broken by sin in our life.

In 1992, John Gray made a ton of money from his book, Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Overnight he was proclaimed an instant expert on male and female differences. His book touched a chord in our culture. Men and women are wired by God to approach life differently. One of the places this is most clearly seen is in marital intimacy. At this point in the book, Solomon and his bride will finally enjoy the wedding night. We learn they approach that night differently and what makes for good sex, God's way.

Why not take your relationship for a test drive before you commit to it for life. In this text, we look at the ancient wedding ceremony and learn why God wants us to marry and begin their marriage with a great wedding.
