Does God Have A Calling For My Marriage? + FREE 52 Date Night Conversations Starters Download

Show notes

About This Episode Many couples wonder whether God has a specific calling for their marriage. In this episode we share that every Christian marriage already has one, and we walk through six callings that all marriages share: prayer, love, forgiveness, trust, purity, and generosity. For each calling we open the Scriptures and share honestly from our own story, including how pornography cost Aaron spiritual authority, how Jennifer used unforgiveness as a way to control, and how she fought tithing while we were in debt. Love is a command, not just a feeling, and prayer isn't preparation for the battle, prayer is the battle. We pray this encourages you to step into what God has already called your marriage to.
