What if your marriage was designed to be more than just a relationship, but a powerful spiritual force with divine purpose? 

We dive deep into Tony Evans' transformative book "Kingdom Marriage," examining the first three foundational chapters that explore origin, order, and opposition. These concepts aren't just theoretical—they're the building blocks that determine whether your marriage merely exists or truly thrives with kingdom purpose.

The origin of marriage reveals God's blueprint: a union designed not primarily for happiness but for purpose. When two people bring their individual callings together, they create something exponentially more powerful than what they could accomplish alone. As scripture reminds us, one can chase a thousand, but two can chase ten thousand.

We candidly share our own journey through seven years of marriage, including the sometimes uncomfortable truth about submission. "You're not submitting to your husband in the flesh," we explain, "you're submitting to the God in your husband." This perspective transforms the entire conversation about order in marriage—it's not about control, but about acceptance and trust in the God working through your spouse.

The enemy knows that a unified couple is dangerous to his plans. That's why he targets marriages with division, resentment, and miscommunication. Understanding this opposition helps couples recognize when they're under spiritual attack versus just having normal disagreements. Prayer together becomes not just a nice habit but essential spiritual protection.

Whether you're newlyweds, marriage veterans, or even single and preparing for future relationships, these principles apply universally. The foundation laid in these chapters will transform how you view relationships of all kinds.

Join us as we continue this series, working through more chapters in future episodes. If you've been struggling to find purpose in your relationship or simply want to elevate your marriage to new spiritual heights, this conversation provides both the inspiration and practical guidance you've been seeking.
