Biblical Marriage

Your most important earthly connection is with your spouse, and when you honor the person you married, you’re also honoring God. He created marriage to be one of life’s greatest gifts, and the instruction manual you need for a joyful, lasting union is found in his word. In Your Marriage God’s Way, author and pastor, Scott LaPierre, takes a close look at the principles for building a biblical marriage - one in which your relationship with Christ brings guidance and blessing into your relationship with your spouse.

Do you want to take your marriage to the next level? Are you focusing on who is at fault in your relationship rather than what can be done?

The modern dating system is bankrupt. It does not train young people to form a relationship but rather to form a series of relationships, hardening themselves to all but the current one.

If you are wondering how to break out of the cycle of reactionary outbursts, cold shoulders, resentment, and pain that harms your relationship, you are not alone.

Husbands if you want to hear God say, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant,” at the judgment seat of Christ, there is a simple way to achieve that. Give up your life for your wife's.

This is not a "how-to" guide on having the best marriage, but rather, a walk alongside you and your spouse, sharing the realities of suffering and the effects it can have on a marriage.

We live in a world today amongst brothers and sisters who are hurting. The result of depression in singleness, broken relationships, unhappy marriages, and lacking intimacy with children. Why does it have to be this way? The keyword here is relationships; lack of Christ-centered relationships to be exact! As a people, we have failed to live by the practical steps provided in Scripture and have opted for something else. We have opted to do things our way and not God’s way.

When people are “in love,” they believe they have all the answers. They may think they don’t need to listen to anyone or look at what God’s word says about the institution of marriage. We have all heard about the discouraging trends in marriage and divorce, but it seems we don’t take time to assess the root problems or seek solutions. Society tells us we must have “happiness” at all costs, and the “if it feels good, do it” mentality is ingrained in our moral conduct. But God shows us a different way in His word.
