Are you dreaming about a glorious Christian marriage? Maybe you are looking ahead into the future. Or maybe you are in a rut right now, knowing it has to be better than this.
Don’t get scared by what you see around you – it can be amazing!
If you look around, you will see failing marriages all around. People are either currently miserable, or they are ending their marriage in hopes to not be miserable anymore. And of course that doesn’t work.

Feminism. The destruction of femininity. The dismantling of authority. The emasculation of men. Don’t buy into it. The fruit is rotten! No one is happy with this! (Even if they think they are.)
Honestly, the biggest issue is that the church is buying into the world’s toxic advice. But what advice does the Bible have for Christian marriage?
One of the best parts about the Word is that it does not leave us to fill in the blanks about how marriage should be. God established it before the fall of sin, and it was not broken by the fall. Humanity was. So the problem is that we don’t do marriage very well with our flesh in the way. But marriage is still a perfectly designed institution.
Countless women find freedom when they break open the Bible and really dig into what God has to say for wives.
I’ll give you a hint: it’s not for the faint of heart.
You have to die to yourself and your desires.
And, sister, you aren’t the leader. But there is immense freedom in that!
It’s not easy but God will give you the strength if you are willing.
So, Are you ready for a glorious Christian marriage?
