🎙️ Episode Summary: Do I Understand God’s Covenant Design for Marriage?
In this episode, we dive deep into the biblical truth that marriage is not a contract but a covenant—a sacred reflection of Christ’s love for the Church. Drawing from Ephesians 5:25 (KJV) and Matthew 19:6 (KJV), we explore why God designed marriage to last, how it mirrors the Gospel, and why covenant faithfulness is so essential in today’s world.
We also unpack the real-world consequences of broken covenants, sharing the story of a high-profile leader whose public affair didn’t just cost him his marriage but also risked shaping his children’s future relationships. The lesson? The pain of broken covenants ripples for generations.
Throughout the episode, I challenge you with three reflection questions:
Do I see marriage as a covenant or a convenience?
Am I prepared to fight for my marriage spiritually?
Is the Cross of Christ central to how I plan to love, forgive, and lead?
The call is clear: if you’re not ready to lead, love, and sacrifice like Christ—or follow, honor, and serve like the Church—you’re not ready for marriage.
Let these questions refine you. Let the Holy Spirit guide your steps. And most importantly, let Christ remain at the center of your love life.
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.
