Church and Marriage

This coming Sunday, I will be preaching on "Keys To A Lasting Marriage." We were looking for a song to sing as a congregation after the message. It is almost impossible to find a song that relates to the subject that we can sing together - at least one that in on any list of songs we might sing in church.

It seems kind of strange that in a day when the church works hard whthin society to keep marriage Biblical and based on Christian values that we never sing about it in church. Does marriage have nothing to do with worship? If we bow down before God and serve him, is marriage not included in that worship?

What do you think? Why don't we sing about marriage in church?

Likely because we're under the impression that worship should be about God. That would be our first response; but are our relationships about God? Perhaps not. My mother said that she and my father very intentionally tried to put God before each other. Where does that priority fit into the whole discussion of worship?
