Your discernment may not be missing. It may be infected.

Main message: The preacher warns that unbiblical sexual exposure and past experiences distort discernment, leading people to prioritize excitement over virtue and miss godly marriage partners. He urges valuing the rare, virtuous spouse and recognizing marriage as a covenant in which spouses teach and develop virtue.

Key points:

• Unbiblical exposure creates illogical comparisons and damages the ability to see true virtue.
• People "major in the minor and minor in the major," preferring flashy partners over steady, godly ones.
• Past sexual experiences set unrealistic standards that make virtuous partners seem unattractive.
• A virtuous spouse (e.g., the "virtuous woman") is rare and of high worth.
• Virtue is developed over time; marriage is a covenantal place to teach and grow in godliness.
