Approaching Marriage
Toward a Radically Christian CountercultureSteve Gregg
In "Approaching Marriage", Steve Gregg discusses how the teachings of Scripture differ from societal norms when it comes to finding a partner and getting married. Gregg emphasizes that while marriage may be a general calling, it is not the original calling for anyone, and it is not good to approach it outside of the church. He argues against casual dating and instead suggests that individuals should remain true to their convictions and seek out potential mates who share the same belief system. Gregg also emphasizes the importance of respecting the sanctity of marriage and avoiding anything that might lead to inappropriate physical contact or emotional attachment with someone who is not a suitable partner.
