What if marriage isn't supposed to make you happy?

Main message: Marriage's primary purpose is sanctification, not personal happiness; God uses the painful and unfair parts of marriage to shape you into a holy person if you cling to him rather than blaming your spouse.

Key points:

• Marriage struggles are opportunities God will use to mold you into the holy person you were created to be.
• Hold on to God (not your spouse) and trust him amid marital pain and difficulty.
• Your spouse cannot prevent God from working in your life unless you make them an excuse or obstacle.
• Blaming your partner keeps you from pursuing God's will and receiving his transforming work.
