(Part 1/5) 5 Questions Every Christian Must Ask Before Pursuing Marriage - Are you saved?
PART ONE - ARE YOU SAVED?
Discover 5 deeply reflective questions every Christian single should ask before pursuing marriage. Rooted in the Bible (KJV), this guide helps you prepare for God’s covenant of marriage the right way
Marriage is a covenant, not a contract. For the Christian, it's a sacred, three-way bond with God at the center. Before pursuing a relationship, it’s essential to ask yourself: Am I truly ready for marriage, God’s way?
Here is the first of 5 self-reflective principles, rooted in Scripture, that can help you evaluate your readiness and align your path with God’s design.
1. Is Jesus Christ the Lord and Saviour of My Life?“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” — John 14:6 (KJV)Jesus must be Lord of your life before He can be Lord of your marriage.
Marriage is a spiritual covenant. You, your spouse, and Christ must be equally yoked: “And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” — Ecclesiastes 4:12 (KJV) This is not optional. The Holy Spirit empowers the sweetness (love, joy, peace, patience), but also sustains you through trials designed to refine and sanctify. “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers…” — 2 Corinthians 6:14 (KJV)
Ask yourself:Do I follow Christ daily, or just occasionally? Do I want someone who truly follows Jesus—or just calls themselves Christian? Can I commit to keeping God as the third strand in my future marriage? If not, stop. Your foundation isn't strong enough yet.

Podcast by Pastor J the founder of One Cross Yoke (OCY), married to his wife of 13 years and father to two young boys.
OCY was founded because of a passionate call regarding preparing future marriages - we have helped many at the difficult seasons and realised we can help so many more based on what we learnt in stages of helping others who were in marital crises.
Christian marriages are at an alarming rate of divorce and the severity of choosing a godly spouse can be underplayed in the church. That is where we come in and with 13 years of marital experience - we understand the complex nature of finding a godly spouse.
We have set up OCY to help others get married and live 'happily ' married. We are in it for the business of planting OAK trees that can stand the test of time and create shelter for your future family to grow.
