2: FRIENDSHIP | Ephesians 5:21-33

The 5 F's of a Fulfilling Marriage

Sermon by Tadd Anderson | Lead Teaching Pastor

Sermon Notes:

Genesis 2:19-25

Marriage is designed to PRIMARILY be a FRIENDSHIP, with sexual INTIMACY as a SUBSEQUENT feature NOT primarily a sexual relationship with friendship as an OPTIONAL ADDITION.

Tim Keller’s 4 Aspects of Marital Friendship:

1. CONSTANCY - RELIABILITY

Proverbs 17:17 // Ecclesiastes 4:9-10

2. CANDOR - TRANSPARENCY

Ephesians 4:15 // Proverbs 27:6, 9, 17

3. COMPANIONSHIP - DISCOVERY (‘Fun’)

Ecclesiastes 9:9 // Proverbs 5:18-19 // Song of Solomon 2:10,14,16

4. COMMON VISION - CHRISTIANITY

2 Corinthians 6:14 // Philippians 1:27

“The picture that the Bible draws of spiritual friendship is remarkable. Christian friendship is not simply about going to concerts together or enjoying the same sporting event. It is the deep oneness that develops as two people journey together toward the same destination, helping one another through the dangers and challenges along the way.” — Tim Keller
