Week 12: Epilogue — Building a Marriage That Lasts

1.Thomas ends with the image from Revelation of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb — the ultimate wedding toward which all earthly marriages are pointing. How does that eschatological horizon change how you think about the daily work of your marriage?
