âI didn't realize I was trying to become a wife; then God said, 'Wait a minute, you're My daughter first!'â Discover the significance of one marriage, two covenants, and what it means to be âall in!â
------------------
In E14 of Love Letters with Jason and Ros, weâre talking about âCovenant,â and weâre keeping it real! With fewer than 40% of couples receiving premarital counseling, many enter marriage unaware of their first covenantâlet alone the second!
Weâve officially kicked off Season 2 of Love Letters with our new series, âBuilding Healthy Marriages,â starting with the key element by which every strong marriage must start and stand: Covenant!
