Скачать или смотреть How Modern Dating is Failing Tomorrow's Marriages | A Message from Dr. Conway Edwards

Modern dating promises romance without responsibility and connection without covenant. Yet Scripture tells a very different story about love, commitment, and what marriage is actually for. In Ephesians 5:25–32, we see that marriage is not built on emotional compatibility but on sacrificial love that reflects Christ’s devotion to the Church. In Matthew 7:24–27, Jesus reminds us that only what is built on obedience to God can survive the storms of life.

This message explores how today’s dating culture trains people to protect themselves instead of giving themselves, to sample love instead of commit to it, and to chase feelings instead of building foundations. But marriage was never designed to serve our comfort. It was designed to shape our character.

Marriage is where God trains your love by testing your self-centeredness.
Through covenant, sacrifice, forgiveness, and daily choosing one another, God uses marriage to make us more like Christ. If modern dating is forming people who avoid commitment, avoid sacrifice, and avoid accountability, then it is quietly sabotaging tomorrow’s marriages.

This message calls us back to God’s blueprint for love, a love that is built to last because it is built on Him. 🕊️
