Don’t Waste Your Marriage

Guests: Francis and Lisa Chan

From the series: You and Me Forever (Day 3 of 3)

Bob: Francis and Lisa Chan had not been married long when they started to think that their marriage needed to have more of an outward focus rather than an inward focus.

Francis: And we started letting people in the home and having people actually live with us. Ministry was in-house, and our kids saw it. The kids saw the miracles in these peoples’ lives and the life-change. Discipleship was happening 24 hours a day in our home. We were missional. We were praying and saying, “God, what do You want us to do with this house?”—like everything was with an open hand, but I think that’s what so few couples do—is they don’t say, “Lord, what do You want?” Instead, they think, “What do we want, and how can I justify that biblically?”

Bob: This is FamilyLife Today for Wednesday, January 24th. Our host is Dennis Rainey; I’m Bob Lepine. God can do some amazing things in the lives of couples and families who start to realize that marriage is about more than just the two of you.

1:00

Now, we have had Francis and Lisa Chan joining us this week. It’s been fun to get a little dirt on this couple—you know—I mean, on their marriage.

Dennis: Well, on Francis. [Laughter] Francis—

Bob: That’s true. I don’t know that we’ve gotten any dirt on Lisa.

Dennis: I don’t think we’ve heard much on Lisa.

Lisa: Well, we don’t have any more time. [Laughter]

Dennis: Welcome back to the broadcast.

Lisa: Thank you.

Dennis: Glad you’re here.

Francis and Lisa Chan have written a book, You and Me Forever. It’s all about marriage in light of eternity. In fact, you say something in your book, Francis, I want you just to comment on here.

3:00

You say that it’s important to love Lisa in light of eternity. Explain to our listeners what you mean by that statement.

Francis: Yes; it’s the same thing that the Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 15. He said, “If there is no resurrection from the dead, then, I am above all men most to be pitied,”—like: “I would live completely differently if there is no forever / if there is no eternity. Then, let’s just enjoy—we’ll just eat, drink, and] be merry. Let’s just have a great little family / have a great time here on earth, and just think about us.” But no—because there is a forever—now: “How do I love her in the greatest way?”

Dennis: —and because you are accountable to the God who made us.

Francis: Yes; and made her for a reason!

Dennis: Right.

Francis: And He made this marriage for a reason—it was for Him. Everything was created by Him and for Him.

4:00

So, we—I mean, this is what differentiates / is supposed to differentiate us from the rest of the world—is that we’re not living for this life. It’s not about your best life right now. It’s about: “No; I’m thinking about the future. I’m storing up treasure in heaven.” Don’t waste your time just building up and storing up treasures on earth, where someone is going to steal it, or it’s going to fall apart, and you’ve got to insure it and everything else. Store up this treasure in heaven. Really believe that you are going to be rewarded a hundred times anything you sacrifice.

If I am thinking about Lisa’s forever and her future, then, I’m going to live a lot differently right here.

Bob: Lisa, I had the opportunity, a number of years ago, to go to a group of friends. I said, “If you were going to share a passage from the Bible about marriage with a couple just getting started—and it couldn’t be Ephesians 5, couldn’t be 1 Peter 3, couldn’t be Colossians 3—kind of the big ones that we all go to / couldn’t go there—what passage would you share with them?”

5:00

And two guys that I asked the question to, independently, gave me the same verse. It was one that really surprised me. It was out of Psalm 34. They said, “I used this verse to propose to my wife.” It was the verse that says, “O, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.” They said: “We wanted to start our marriage saying, ‘This is what we’re getting married to do—to magnify the Lord together and exalt His name t...
