The Truth About Marriage Culture


Listen Later

Sometimes it seems like the Church focuses too much on marriage. Instead of being something beautiful, it feels like a checkbox or something you're supposed to do.

Engaged? You better hurry up. Living together? You better “make it right.” Single in ministry? You better find someone fast. The pressure is everywhere — but is it healthy? Is it even biblical?

In this episode, we’re getting honest about the Church’s marriage culture:

  • Why people are getting pushed to the altar before they’re ready

  • How marriage has become a ministry requirement

  • The problem with purity culture and pre-marital pressure

  • Why support drops off after the wedding day

  • And what the Bible actually says about marriage, singleness, and maturity

Whether you’re single, dating, married, or somewhere in-between — this one’s for you. Let’s have the conversation about marriage and look at the culture we've created around it.
