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. 1 Peter 3:1-2 (NKJV) says: Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives, when they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. 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 1 of this episode, I speak with Bill and Jenny Fleming on God's Faithfulness + A Praying Wife = A Husband's Return. You will also hear about: how and when they met, how long they dated prior to getting married, what their proposal was like, what their wedding day was like, what their marriage was like early on and some of the challenges they faced, the reason behind their decision to take in Jenny's younger brothers, their difficult experience with losing their first child due to miscarriage, the point when Bill began to question God and turn from Him, how Jenny reacted to Bill's questions about God, what Bill turned to in his search for answers about God, the reason behind why Bill couldn't deny Jesus, the unexpected encouragement that Jenny received from her brother-in-law about Bill, and more!
