Appropriating the Happiness That Is in You | By Rejecting Narcissism: Appropriating the Happiness That Is in You (Part 6)

In this sobering message, Dr. Michael Youssef exposes the modern crisis of self-centeredness and its devastating effect on marriage. Preaching from Matthew 5:31–32, he confronts the lies of our culture and calls believers back to God’s original design for marriage—a covenant between one man and one woman, bound by commitment and marked by grace. Divorce, once rare, is now normalized—even in the Church—because of hearts hardened by pride and selfishness. But Jesus demands more. He calls His followers to reject narcissism, embrace repentance, and pursue sacrificial love through the power of the Holy Spirit. Only when Christ is lifted high can a marriage reflect His glory and endure the storms of life.
