What’s worse, it seems that those who lead us can’t seem to agree on how to change things. While politicians frame the debate as rich vs. poor, big business vs. the middle class, or Republican vs. Democrat, there is another conflict that reflects a much deeper divide in American culture—a conflict that, if resolved, could pave the way for our nation to come together and successfully address the issues that fill the airways.

The problem is this picture of marriage results in expectations that we unload on our spouse. The weight of these expectations will rob your marriage of love and joy. As a spouse you never feel like you measure up and you never feel like you are good enough. So what are you to do with your expectations? You can't deny them, because most expectations started out as God-given desires. In this series, Buck explains that you must learn to transform your expectations and look to God if you are to experience marriage as it was designed. http://www.hcbcnp.com/sermon/imarriage-part-3 http://goaustin.net/podcasts/audio/2009-06-14_hcbcnp.mp3 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:47:56 UTC Buck Giebelhaus iMarriage marriage,hcbcnp,hcbc,northpoint Standing at the altar, we all had a picture of what our marriage would look like.
