Marriage Matters: Can a Marriage be Successful if you aren't "equally yoked"?


Listen Later

In this episode we explore the frequently asked and debated question; Can a marriage be successful if you aren't "equally yoked"? The short answer of it is YES, because with God ALL things are possible.

We do not serve a limited God that is limited to our human abilities and perspective. In a marriage where there is an "unbelieving spouse" or a spouse who isn't actively seeking the wisdom and knowledge of God in order to strengthen and solve marital issues that arise that produce unity; the believer who actively seeks God, will and can receive the divine protection of God. That is the blessing of a covenanted minded marriage vs a contractual minded marriage. What we must realize first and foremost is that it is not about our spouse and their lack of obedience but our own.

Are we ourselves living out the ways of God within our marriage or do we too allow our sinful nature to lead our thoughts, behaviors and actions? Are we being image bearers within our own marriages?

Are we allowing ourselves to be changed by God OR the actions of our spouse and our own sinful nature that desires to rebel, be prideful, hold contempt, have unforgiveness, harden our hearts, remain stuck in our own ways, fall into hopelessness, faithlessness? Are we believing what the world says or are we believing God? Regardless of the success of our marriages who do we serve...God or ourselves? Are we dying to our old ways and being made new in Christ?

Lets take some inventory!

Lets get ROOTED!

Stay well & stay blessed

I apologize for the slight inconvenience of barking in the background towards the ending of this episode. The overall message I believe was far to great to scrap this entire episode. Thank you in advanced for your grace.
