Engaged Marriage has an interesting post on what an extraordinary marriage looks like. Here were some of the reader responses:
I would say being on mission together for something much bigger than yourselves describes an extraordinary marriage. More than likely, almost every couple would say they want that, but most don’t know how or just don’t want to do the work to be extraordinary and end up settling for less.

An extraordinary marriage is when both partners seek to serve each other. It’s one where communication is free flowing and each partner is safe to share issues that concern them. It’s a marriage where both partners are quick to forgive. It’s a place where commitment is unswerving. It’s realizing that you always need to be learning more about each other over time.
Engaged Marriage also had the following to say about what an extraordinary marriage looks like…
* It serves as a vivid example of God’s love for His people.
* It takes two people and joins them together with the capacity to do more good than the sum of the individuals.
