We all want marriages that are happy and healthy. And yet, those types of relationship goals don’t happen by accident or because two people have high hopes. The real key to a great marriage goes far deeper than good intentions. It takes a deliberate plan and a strong foundation. The goal of this four-part series is to help you better understand the foundation and put together a plan.

    When life gets busy, it’s easy to miss thinking through important questions like "Why am I here?" and "What is my purpose?" These are important questions to ask about marriage as well.

  • Part 4: Covenant Keeping

    February 21, 2021


    Unmet expectations are at the heart of every relational conflict, and this is especially true of the marriage relationship. When Jesus taught about marriage, he didn’t tell people to lower their expectations. He actually raised them.
