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.
Genesis 2:18 (NKJV) says:
And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
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 Daniel & Mia Morrison on Overcoming Marriage Being Hard. You will also hear about: the idolatry of marriage in our culture and if it has affected them, the explanation of the "sexual prosperity gospel", the importance of sexual purity within marriage, how more conversations should be had amongst Christians regarding sexual purity before and after marriage, what their prayers are like for each other, what they've learned the most about each other since being married, what they've learned the most about God since being married, and more!
