Our Story | Marriage Made in Heaven Series
Marriage: Made in Heaven? “My Story” – How God took two broken lives and four divorces and did what only He can do.
“Marriage Made in Heaven” | Introduction
We’ve all heard the phrase “a marriage made in heaven.” But depending on your life situation, the word marriage may bring to mind different thoughts and images. Perhaps it’s of your parents’ marriage and whether it was a good one or a contentious one. Or maybe it’s your own marriage and the thoughts, dreams, commitments, and even preconceptions, you had when you married. Or perhaps, marriage is something you are still looking forward to.
Wherever you are … married, divorced, widowed, or single, I pray you’ll take away truths from this series that will help you in your own or any future marriage or help you minister to others who are married.

“Are You Settling for Less in Your Marriage?”
Are you settling for less in your marriage? Less than you dreamed of when you first met? Or maybe you’ve grown and learned a few communication techniques. So, now you have settled for a little less fighting? And then there are the kids. Maybe you have settled for focusing on them. Or maybe you think, “Our marriage is OK. It’s not perfect but what marriage is?”
Or maybe you’re waiting. Waiting for a better job, a bigger house, for one or both of you to get established in your career. Then things will be better. Maybe you’re just waiting for the kids to be grown so you can leave. Or waiting to see what will happen, whether or not things will get better.

35 Lessons I’ve Learned in 35 Years of Marriage [+ Newsletter]
Marriage is hard. It takes work. It takes staying committed in a world that says, “If I’m not happy, I’m outta here.” Yet, none of us marries with the idea that it won’t last. We get married thinking our relationship will be different. We’re in love and plan to live happily ever after. That lasts about a week-and-a-half.
Instead, marriage is like God’s sandpaper. It exposes our basic selfishness and all our rough edges. But if we let God teach us where we need to grow and change … if we learn to forgive … if we learn what it means to give grace to one another … if we stay committed through the good times and the bad, marriage can be one of God’s greatest gifts.
