Emily and Trent: Marriage Between Man and Woman is Essential to His Eternal Plan


Listen Later

In this episode, Trent and Emily share their beautiful and unique story — marrying later in life and learning together how marriage between a man and a woman fits into God’s eternal plan. For Trent, it's a second marriage after losing his first wife; for Emily, it's her first. Together, they offer heartfelt insights about timing, trust, and what it means to walk the covenant path--together.

We talk about: 

  • 16:25 — Asking: "What do I really want?" 
  • 18:40 — The difference between the "covenant path" and God's "eternal plan" 
  • 22:00 — Why ideals are not indictments 
  • 31:00 — How marriage helps us become our “favorite self” — "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." 
  • 35:00 — God's distinct design for marriage between male and female 
  • 49:00 — Training and aligning our desires


Their story is a gentle, hope-filled reminder that while timing may differ, the doctrine remains the same — inviting each of us to trust God's beautiful design for marriage and family.

After you listen, please share this conversation with someone who might need a little encouragement today.
