Marriage is designed to make you HOLY! Nobody has a front row seat to one’s flaws than a spouse. So your weaknesses being exposed in marriage will help you die to self because you want to become a better person so your marriage can work and last. In that process of dying to self, you become more like Christ aka Holy!

I remember the last guy that asked me out, I asked him what his vision is for his family, what kind of household does he wish to have, how would he like his children to be raised, with what values and principles, and I realized he doesn't have a clue, that also made me realize how important those questions are and the answers to those questions, it is not just a casual thing where we go with the flow and see where it leads.

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING Teaching. My husband and I married when I was 20 yrs young. We have now been married 33 yrs with 2 children that are now adults. I agree 100% with everything you taught in this teaching. I am finally understanding the challenges we faced early in our marriage and from time to time now. I thank The Lord of Jesus Christ for you. Looking forward to the next teaching on marriage.

Companionship is the number one reason I desire marriage right now...God, lead and guide me Amen

"They are looking at marraige as bondage" I immediately think of when non believers criticize our walk with Christ. They think we are in bondage when in fact the Holy Spirit empowers us to walk this righteous path. I can see the correlation of Christ and the church and the earthy marriage. Wow. This is so good!

“Where is the room for ONENESS?!!” You’re shouting at my selfishness 😭 so grateful for this correction whilst I’m in courtship

The purpose of marriage;
Companionship
Oneness
Crucifixion
Godly offsprings

[lashonecaldwell]

“Oneness cannot function without agreement.” Excellent and powerful!

[oscarmike]

As newly married man, this series is very helpful. It’s like reading a book then watching a video explaining the book in better details. God bless you Pastor Steph.

[amatwum]

I believe strongly our personal relationship with God is a reflection of what marriage should be...so similar...it important we build a personal relationship with God before marriage

[MarryOnChain]

Marriage is a beautiful union of two souls, a lifelong commitment to love, support, and cherish one another. A wedding is a celebration of this union, a joyous occasion where family and friends gather to witness and celebrate the love shared between two individuals, marking the beginning of a new chapter together.
