CHRISTIAN RESPONSE: What an honorable thing Harrison Butker is promoting! He speaks of living and serving beyond yourself, giving yourself to a cause greater than self. We all have a deep God-given desire to have a good relationship and legacy to leave behind. God split the one human Adam into 2 genders so the human race could experience the coming together in relationship, the relationship of marriage. This ultimately was created to picture and foreshadow what God want with us. When we're born-again at the foot of Jesus' forgiving cross, we become a part of the bride of Christ. We are designed to have eternal relationship with our loving Creator which we can wonderfully model in our marriages.

Hebrews 13"4 - "Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."

Matthew 19:4-6 - "And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

Psalm 127:4-5 - "As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."

Ephesians 5:21-32 - "Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church."
