The Law of Priority | Why Your Marriage Feels Second Place

Feb 15, 2026    Pastor Dan Smith

What happens when your spouse gets leftovers instead of priority?

In this message, we unpack the biblical Law of Priority from Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19, and Ephesians 5 — and why marriage must become your primary human relationship above parents, kids, work, hobbies, and friends.

If your parents get a vote and your spouse only gets a notification… priority is already broken.

You’ll learn:

What “leave and cleave” really means

How unhealthy family systems undermine marriages

Why sons must leave and parents must release

The difference between honoring and obeying

7 warning signs you’re breaking the Law of Priority

How to pursue and protect your spouse for life

This teaching draws from Scripture, Family Systems theory (Dr. Murray Bowen), and Pastor Mark Driscoll’s 8-week series on marriage.
