This chapter was so neat! Piper argues that the lack of shame in marriage (pre-fall) was due to their perfect, covenant-keeping love. There was no sin yet, but if there was reason for shame, they couldn’t experience it because perfect love & graciousness were present. Their union was founded on their then-perfect union with God — so cool to consider this & how the gospel restores both unions to be full of grace!

These two chapters were great! Piper wrote about headship/submission and explained how these roles existed pre-fall. He writes that sin did not introduce the idea of headship/submission in marriage — it distorted and ruined the beauty of the roles that already existed because of the eternal covenant of Christ & His bride. Such a needed reminder for us in a culture that rejects the ideas of roles in marriage!

This chapter was a sweet exposition of Colossians 3:12-19 and how it lays the groundwork for marriages that endure. Two redeemed sinners are called chosen, holy, and beloved, and therefore as husbands and wives we make it our aim to abide well in Christ through His gospel until our hearts become more merciful, more lowly, and more long-suffering toward our spouse :)
