I'm responding to a recent general discussion over at Jack's Sigma Frame blog, but to this post in particular: On Sanctification. The context is discussing the way sex in marriage sanctifies the people and the relationship.
However, as you might expect, there is a huge problem with the false mythology of American feminism actively preventing any sanctification. The problem is huge, and mainstream churches tend to make it worse, because virtually every church is compromised to a large degree with the Cult of Feminism. Few and far between are the voices in the wilderness calling for repentance.
I've discussed the biblical model of marriage often enough. Keep in mind the key term "tribal feudalism". Getting to one of the main points raised in Jack's post is the overwrought concern for romantic love. One of the first things God managed to hammer into my head after surrendering to the ministry (before marriage) was that romantic love is not a concern.
Specifically, romantic love is quite likely to show up after an appropriate marriage is begun, but it is by no means a priority. It's not even a goal. In our world, the feelings of being in love are elevated as a substitute for God, and become the justification for all sorts of defiling evil in our society. The honest truth is that God and His path for us gives scant attention to emotional feelings.
Women are expected to give themselves totally to their husbands, a complete self-abandonment that sees her calling him "my Lord". Whether she feels it was never the question. Men are equally required to give themselves to their one bride, but it is by no means a balanced equation. A woman without male covering is a plaything of Satan.
That we do not have this in the US, nor did we ever, marks us for destruction. While the Creator's patience is typically far longer than a human lifespan, it does run out. America is doomed; that patience is about gone. I'm old, but I expect to see the US broken up, and the federal beast crushed. Further, the people of the US will suffer substantially because our lives depend on an evil system God is taking to the trash.
So, the only sensible practical advice we can offer is to disconnect as much as possible from any dependence on the system. If that cuts you off from marriage, so be it. If that means dissolving your existing marriage, you should be ready to face that. A spouse that refuses their God-given role is a threat to faith. Take them back if they repent, but you should be ready to move forward alone. This may sound like a hard answer, but tribulation and apocalypse are even harder.
