For Better For Worse?

  Hmmm, the big question… So often, wedding vows lose their weight when couples face seasons of intolerance and hardship. Many are quick to say they’ve had enough of the other person, in their own words, “I can’t take it anymore.” But pause for a moment. When you look back and remember the vows you made at the altar, before friends, family, and most importantly, before God, do you truly realize the gravity of that covenant? Marriage is not just a contract; it is a covenant before God, and God Himself is a respecter of covenants (Malachi 2:14). This is where things get controversial. People argue that “this is a new era” and that no one should tolerate being treated unfairly. And yes, I agree, no one should remain in situations that are abusive or life-threatening. But the real question is, have we re-evaluated what we call “unfair”? Is it truly dangerous, or is it our pride, impatience, or ego speaking? Is it worth breaking a covenant with God for something that may not be permanen...

The Importance of Having a Spiritual Guide in Marriage

 Marriage is a divine institution designed by God to unite two individuals in love, commitment, and purpose. However, like any journey, marriage comes with its share of challenges, tests, and uncertainties. In moments of joy, we celebrate; in times of sorrow, we seek solace. Yet, during the most trying seasons, when emotions threaten to overtake our rational decision-making, a spiritual guide becomes an invaluable anchor in the marriage covenant. A Solid Rock in Times of Affliction Every marriage will encounter difficulties—whether financial struggles, misunderstandings, health crises, or external pressures.

Spiritual Warfare in God-Ordained Marriages: Recognizing the Battle Beyond Compatibility

In recent times, many God-ordained marriages have faced intense spiritual warfare, demonic attacks, and increasing toxicity. While these challenges are often dismissed as mere misunderstandings or issues of compatibility, there is a deeper, unseen battle at play—one that seeks to disrupt and destroy the divine covenant of marriage.

However, the enemy is fully aware of its power and purpose, making Christian marriages a primary target for attack.

It is crucial for married couples to recognize that trials will come, but with spiritual awareness, prayer, and intentional effort, they can overcome adversity and protect their covenant.
