• The gift of having a marriage of partnership.

Key Takeaways:

• The greatest gift of your marriage will be to have a shared surrender to Jesus.
• Business is the only institution that creates economic value, every other institution distributes it.
• The role of business in contributing to a better society happens in four major ways: 1) Responsible value creation. 2) Creating an environment for employees that enables them to grow into the full expression of themselves. 3) Serving customers because when we're serving customers or serving God. 4) Being a good corporate citizen.
• If you believe that God has a better path for your life than you do, give up your claim to Him.
