In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins explains how Christian marriages can be subtly shaped and distorted by cultural influences instead of the Word of God. Drawing from Romans 12:2, this episode shows that guarding marriage begins with the renewal of the mind through Scripture, not conformity to cultural expectations. Media, entertainment, social platforms, and self-centered philosophies continually redefine love, identity, and commitment in ways that often contradict God's design. Dave outlines four biblical safeguards for protecting marriage: • Renew your mind with the Word of God. • Reject cultural lies and false visions of love. • Pursue holiness together through repentance, prayer, and obedience. • Build your home on Christ as the only sure foundation. Faithful marriages do not happen by accident. They are cultivated intentionally by grace through obedience to God's Word and daily dependence on Christ.
