🎙 Podcast – "Is He Praying, Paying, and Leading?"

💍 Part 4 of our 5-part series “5 Powerful Self-Reflection Questions Every Christian Must Ask Before Pursuing Marriage” dives deep into one crucial truth: He must be acting as the man he will grow to be in Christ, now - completely focused on his purpose to build a Christ centred Kingdom and leave legacy.

In this episode, we unpack one of the most important questions every Christian single—especially women—should ask before considering marriage: Is he praying, paying, and leading?

Drawing from Ephesians 5:23 and Psalm 112:5, we explore God’s design for husbands to be the spiritual head of the home—not in domination, but in sacrificial love, humility, and consistent leadership.

A godly man prays over his future wife and decisions, pays with both financial stewardship and sacrificial commitment, and leads with wisdom and stability.

Modern culture promotes “50/50” partnerships in everything, but God’s Word calls for Christlike headship—where a husband lays down his life, builds a home on the Rock, and takes spiritual responsibility seriously.

Ladies: If he isn’t leading now, a wedding won’t magically make it happen.

Reflection Questions:

Does he pray with and for me?

Is he building something stable or drifting aimlessly?

Is he ready to protect and provide for a family long-term?

Marriage is more than romance—it’s a covenant that demands spiritual maturity, preparation, and God’s blueprint.

Podcast by Pastor J the founder of One Cross Yoke (OCY), married to his wife of 13 years and father to two young boys.

OCY was founded because of a passionate call regarding preparing future marriages - we have helped many at the difficult seasons and realised we can help so many more based on what we learnt in stages of helping others who were in marital crises.

Christian marriages are at an alarming rate of divorce and the severity of choosing a godly spouse can be underplayed in the church. That is where we come in and with 13 years of marital experience - we understand the complex nature of finding a godly spouse.

We have set up OCY to help others get married and live 'happily ' married. We are in it for the business of planting OAK trees that can stand the test of time and create shelter for your future family to grow. 

Whether you're a Christian single, or you care about someone who is, this episode offers a bold, Scripture-rich reminder that your worth isn't defined by culture—it’s defined by Christ.

Share this with someone who needs to hear it. It might just change how they prepare for marriage forever.
