Matthew 19:6 (NKJV) says:
So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.
Psalm 127:3-5 (NKJV) says:
Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one’s youth. Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them; they shall not be ashamed, but shall speak with their enemies in the gate.
Marriage is a blessed union and covenant designed by God. Keeping God first will cause the marriage to move into the right direction and blessings will flow on every side. However, marriage does not come without challenges, even with God at the center. It is the couple's responsibility to fight for the marriage by daily surrendering it to God and yielding to His will no matter how uncomfortable or difficult it may be.
This marriage series was created to help couples overcome and BREAKTHROUGH in different areas of hardship within their marriage, and for them to be reminded that we are a community within the Body of Christ, who need each other's encouragement, wisdom, and support.
In Part 2 of this episode, I speak with Dantè & Lynn Rhue (from Episode 5) on Marriage as a Blended Family. You will also hear about: some of the challenges they face now having adult children, what helps them to keep calm when their children make unwise decisions, how their children who live at home assist with paying bills, how their marriage has changed now that they have adult children, what they love the most about their children, what they love about each other, wisdom, advice, and encouragement for others, and more!
