Here are some short, but good posts by Rick Phillips where he answers some specific questions he received at a recent conference. While I would not agree with every jot and tittle, the main teaching is solid.
In this post he addresses why there are so many singles if marriage is so important. All four points are good, but the first one is excellent.
Here he addresses dating a non-virgin. It is a balanced post showing that sexual purity is a goal, but dating (or for me courting) a non-virgin is not automatically a bad thing. I think this is important because in some ways we have made sexual sin a permanent stain. Past sexual sins should be discussed, but the key is the person's current relationship with Christ, not their past transgressions.
Here he addresses the Biblical grounds for divorce. The post is not ground breaking, but it does give a succinct presentation of what I think is the Biblical teaching on divorce.
Finally, he addresses whether or not Christians should get civil marriage licenses. Again solid teaching here.
