Marry Someone Who Loves God More Than They Love You

Idolatry. We can make so many things into an idol. We often talk about money, fame or power becoming an idol in our life but did you know that even something as beautiful and holy as matrimony can become and idol?

Today, Jackie and Bobby Angel tackle the tough question, "Will Marriage Solve All of My Problems?" Hint, No, your spouse is not your everything and it takes "three to get Married."

C.S Lewis: “Put first things first and second things are thrown in. Put second things first and you lose both first and second things.”

As you guys talk about this I’m reminded of a quote from St Teresa of Avila, “Whoever has God lacks nothing; only God suffices.”
I too have been guilty of idolatry. It distorts everything. But I learned and I know I am a better person when God is at the core of everything. Thank you both for your ongoing honesty and courage.
You both inspire me to have attain a Catholic marriage and family. God bless 🌸

So true! Thank you for picking up this topic. I have been divorced for 10 years and chose to love a single life. God has not stopped amazing me with what He has in store for me. I am not celebrating my divorce here but just sharing that God alone suffices!

Also, marry someone who looks at you the way these two lovebirds do 😍🥰

I've truly struggled with this as have remained single into my 50's . I always understood that vocations were God given and then when acted upon fulfil one but I didn't choose this so often am angry this is what God had planned for my life. A double edged sword but thankful he has blessed me with other single friends as we walk together in faith ❤️‍🔥

[CatholicKatherine]

Pray a Surrender Novena if you’re struggling with aching for a spouse! That’s what I do! And remember God has you single for a reason and it’s a beautiful reason!

[jeromefc]

(or) Be Someone Who Loves God above anyone else ❤🙏

[smokingcrab]

This is so easy for people like you to say who seem to have it all and God has blessed you tremendously. Marriage is not an idol but it's a huge blessing and couples don't do the work to make marriage amazing, but instead we're told "don't make it an idol"

[mschrag]

Amen‼️
Yes, we place God at the center of everything. And yes, God is Enough❣️ Praise be to God. All Glory and Honor belongs solely unto You, thank You Heavenly Father.

Thank God for everyone at ascension presents. These videos feel like a warm hug from a friend.

[maxdevick]

Wow, I was just wondering and struggling with this question, and here comes a video from Ascension! God truly works though all things. Praise be to Jesus Christ!

[pchristmas]

That’s what I’m waiting for 🙂 to marry someone who loves God first and foremost and me second to God

[quadrupleheart]

Very well said! Marriage brings everything to light!

[orbeuniversity]

6:23 This has been my problem for decades: Idolizing marriage. Thank you for making this video.

[graeme.cabrera]

Nice video, you two, I enjoyed it. Glad to see that your verbal/communicative dancing has improved over the years. Forgive my rudeness, but no doubt all of your prayer, self-work, and effort yielded very positive results. Thanks for being a healthy example to the younger generations. Keep up the good work!

[jeanierosario]

Yeah! It's true God is the center of everything because HE is a great foundation of our lives.

Never Married or co-habited in an intimate relationship

hate it when people tell me my life if not fulfilled unless I am in a relationship, they just don’t get it, usually remain silent when that subject comes up, all they want is for me to agree with them which I can’t do because it’s not who I am

Feel better now got that of my chest

[genuinetuffguy]

A truly healthy marriage is where you help each other open up your hearts to God’s Love and help each other mutually increase trust in God’s Divine Will.

[JohnR.T.B.]

Thank you so much Jackie and Bobby, this is very edifying. God bless you both always.

[elibev]

I have been saying this forever. Thanks for confirming. Too many people under the Canaanite law of marriage and baptism, do not recognise Christ and idolize a man instead, worldly things… and rituals. It’s time for the new order.

I’ve not listened to the video but the title tells me you are listening enough for what we need placed out there.
