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. Exodus 20:3 (NKJV) says: You shall have no other gods before Me. 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, listen to my hubby and I as we speak about: The Importance of Keeping God FIRST in Marriage. You will also hear about: how we keep God first while waiting on Him to have children, what I have learned the most while waiting on God for children, how to receive and handle prophetic words (regarding children & in general), how Jared has been challenged by the Holy Spirit in conversations with me, the most recent argument we had that eventually led to the Holy Spirit intervening unexpectedly, the importance of remembering we're on the same team as a couple, what being best friends in marriage is like, wisdom, advice, and encouragement for others, and more!
