What makes a marriage truly godly?

In this episode of I Choose Life: News and Views, Abigail Lorenzen talks with Pastor Tim Pauls of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Boise, Idaho, about the heart of godly marriage—and why it matters for a pro-life culture. Pastor Pauls unpacks what it means for marriage to be a covenant rather than a contract, how sacrificial love reflects Christ’s love for the Church, and why the vows we make before God and our community carry lifelong weight.

They also discuss the role of Christian fellowship in sustaining marriages, the balance between family and ministry, and how husbands and wives can serve one another with grace, even when love feels like hard work.

A thoughtful conversation about faith, commitment, and the sacred picture of Christ and His bride that godly marriage is meant to reflect.
