  • Greatness in Marriage

    Do you believe you’ll achieve greatness in your marriage? If not you, then who?

     I believe greatness in marriage is possible and it should be on our radar.  It should be a goal.  It really is possible because all things are possible with God (Matt 19:26).  

     Greatness in marriage isn’t going to happen accidentally.  There is a gap between where we are now, and where we can be in marriage.  We have the ability to close that gap between where we are and where we are capable of being.    

     One step toward greatness in marriage is to adopt God’s view of marriage above that of society and culture.  

     In this episode, learn how God views and defines marriage, and how you can begin the journey to greatness in your marriage!Do you believe you’ll achieve greatness in your marriage? If not you, then who?

     Since 1994, Rick and Rebekah Porterfield have used Biblical relationship principals to help many couples around the world find success and happiness in marriage.  We know firsthand that even the best marriages can get better, and the worst marriages can be saved.
