Here is an excellent talk that Philip Ryken gave in March 2008 at Taylor University, related to marriage and the love of sacrifice and submission:

Phil’s wife Lisa then joined him for a conversation recounting their own courtship and marriage, followed by another session in which they answered questions from the students on purity, picking a spouse, sexual sin, etc.:
