No Regretz Marriage

In this episode of the No Regress Marriage Podcast, Johnny and Carla Morton dive deep into the changes in their understanding of marriage over the years. They share personal insights and reflect on how their beliefs have evolved through experience and study.

The Evolving Understanding of Marriage

Marriage is often seen through the lens of happiness and fulfillment—questions like, "Am I happy?" or "Is my spouse treating me well?" But as Johnny points out, God's intent for marriage encompasses so much more. He recalls a profound realization brought to light by Gary Thomas, author of Sacred Marriage, who asks the pivotal question: What if marriage is more about making you holy than it is about making you happy? This shift in perspective can be a game-changer in how we approach our relationships.

In this episode, we explore the biblical principles of marriage from Proverbs, emphasizing the value of a good spouse, the importance of love and respect, and the qualities of the Proverbs 31 woman. We discuss practical insights for building a strong, God-honoring marriage.

What is the path of wisdom when it comes to your finances? As we continue in our search through Proverbs on how to flourish in our marriages, we consider Proverbs wisdom about finances. What is our attitude and behavior towards money and finances supposed to be. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus warned us that how we relate to and handle money is a window to our heart. In today's No Regretz Marriage Podcast, we discuss how to follow Proverbs wisdom about finances so we can flourish in all aspects of marriage.

Proverbs, part of the wisdom literature in the Bible, is an invitation to experience the good life that comes when we follow God's wisdom instead of our own. The authors encourage us to follow Lady Wisdom rather than Lady Folly. While not commands or even promises, Proverbs leads us to choose to live life God's way rather than doing what is right in our own eyes. We hope you'll join us over the next weeks as we look at Proverbs and how it might apply to marriage and family.
