Marriage. It’s a word that evokes images of love, commitment, and a shared life. But what does it truly mean to build a marriage that lasts, a marriage that reflects God’s original design? It’s easy to get caught up in the romantic ideals, the fairytale endings, and the picture-perfect moments. But real-life marriage requires more than just fleeting emotions. It calls for a deeper understanding of God’s purpose for this sacred union.
Growing up, I was captivated by fairytales and romantic movies. I envisioned a marriage filled with effortless love and endless happiness. But as I matured and observed the marriages around me, I realized that real-life love stories are often more complex. I saw couples face challenges, disagreements, and unexpected trials. But I also witnessed the incredible strength and resilience of those who had built their marriages on a foundation of faith and a deep understanding of God’s design.
