Covey and Katie Wise have been married twenty-four years.   They have five children and use their experiences from marriage and parenting to encourage couples and young families to draw closer to God and to each other.   Covey has served as an evangelist for Monroeville Christian Church for the past eleven years. Their entire family is actively involved in various church ministries of this growing and thriving congregation in southwest PA.    About seven years ago, they learned about Marriage Dynamics and became class facilitators. Since then, they have led several classes and have seen the marriage ministry in their congregation grow.  They firmly believe that the marriage ministry should be a primary ministry of any local church. Their reality is, "Dating is huge in marriage. Children should enhance your marriage - not disturb it." - Katie Wise   www.marriagedynamics.com          

There is nothing wrong with wanting a good marriage, or even a "perfect" one. But what is a perfect marriage from God's perspective, and what does it require to have one? Kathy Gallagher is back for the third episode of our series, Hope for Hurting Wives.   Resources we mentioned: When His Secret Sin Breaks Your Heart (Book) By Kathy Gallagher

Jason and Becky Kridner didn't know if they were going to make it past thirteen years of marriage until they found Dynamic Marriage. After being a part of a Dynamic Marriage training weekend, they knew immediately that the wanted to heal first, then help other marriages to heal and thrive too. The Kridners have been leading Dynamic Marriage workshops now for fifteen years. This couple enjoys a flourishing marriage that they've worked hard on and continue to do so. Jason says, "It's less about information (because there are many courses and curriculums out there), but none is as transformational as Marriage Dynamic's Dynamic Marriage course." These top notch, vulnerable and relatable facilitators know - there's nothing that will change the course of dead-end marriage quite like Dynamic Marriage! www.marriagedynamics.com

Pastor Mike and Connie Hammer know the power of healthy families and the outcome that it produces in their church and community. They pastor a thriving church in Dillsburg, PA (Celebration Church) and have committed to teaching and counseling couples of all ages in not only their married journey, but also their walk with Christ. Marriage Dynamics Institute's core value is to support marriage and family to thrive in a desperate culture. Pastor Mike and Connie's expressed desire is to encourage every marriage to be a couples centered relationship instead of kids centered. Finding that balance in marriage, ministry and raising a family is the goal -- to work together in a way that honors Christ and reflects lives transformed by the gospel. "My marriage is my first ministry," - Mike Hammer www.marriagedynamics.com

I sat down to interview my parents. As far as long term monogamy goes, they are truly an example of what's possible. In their community, they have a reputation to be "so in love". People mistake them for newlyweds all the time. What can we learn from a couple that's been married since 1970? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/scott-landis/message

A sermon by Brad Snyder preached on July 9, 2017 at Veritas Tri-Village as part of a sermon series on Matthew.Reflection:In Genesis 2:18 we read that before sin even entered the world, God says that for man to be alone is “not good.” * How does God's character demonstrate the importance and characteristics of marriage? * When men rebelled in the garden, what were some of the consequences? What did Adam say when God confronted him? Leaders: Our God is a triune God. He is three in one. God's design for marriage is to reflect/display his nature. When Adam was confronted in the garden, he blamed the woman - he essentially disowned her in a display of blame shifting and selfishness.Brad said that by default we approach marriage thinking that love is when another person joyfully fulfills all of "my needs.” * How does this mindset differ from God's purpose in marriage? * And, importantly, how does the truth of the gospel change our conception of the marriage relationship? * How does it motivate us toward love and self-sacrifice for one another in our relationships?Your wife's weakness, or husband's failings, are a gospel opportunity for your marriage to display a glimpse of the love and grace it was created to display! - Brad, from the sermonRead 1 John 4:7-12. God has created marriage in order to model His character - especially his love - and His gospel. This means marriage was meant to demonstrate forgiveness, mercy and grace in the midst of difficult or seemingly impossible situations. * How did Christ demonstrate His love for us? What was our spiritual situation before His initiating this loving relationship? * In what ways have you seen your spouse, or maybe some godly parents, or role models demonstrate Christ's gospel?It's not your love that sustains your marriage…it's your marriage that sustains your love!” - Dietrich BonhoefferFor those of you who are married, think about your marriage and even some of the low and high points you've experienced and maybe even some you've seen in your friends and parents. * Knowing that God is sovereign over every circumstance in your life, how do these times remind us of God's purposes for marriage? Leaders: Marriage can be a very refining instrument in our Redeemer's hands; He has given us each other to both encourage and to speaking loving truth to each other at times. How has this occurred in your experience? etc.Re-read Matthew 5:31-32 and James 4:8. Jesus talks about the tragedy of divorce and gives grounds for divorce. Divorce is never entered into with joy, and no Christian ought to desire to initiate divorce. * What is the promise for those of us going through or dealing with the tragedy of divorce? Leaders: The great promise of Christ is that He is with us in every trial and tragedy, and actually comes alongside us and adopts us into a marriage relationship with him, our great Bridegroom. Jesus knows our sins, He understands our weaknesses and has seen our mistakes. We must call out to Him and ask for help. If we draw near to Him, and He will draw near to us. * As a follow up: If you are going through separation or contemplating divorce, who are the people in your life that you need to ask for prayer, accountability, and wisdom?One of the great blessings of being a Christian is having the body of Christ to surround and comfort us, as well as spur us on toward holiness and selflessness. * How does the church community protect us from sin in our marriage? * Where does community breakdown sometimes - i.e. how could we fail even while experiencing good church community? Leaders: the church body provides us with encouragement, loving - if sometimes hard - gospel truths, and a reminder that we're not alone in the struggle. But when we forsake honesty, truth telling, and dependence on Christ, we can easily forsake the purpose and blessings of church community.Your greatest hope for joy and fulfillment in marriage, is to look on the grace of the gospel and to see your sin as more fundamental and more problematic than your spouse's. Because until you take your own sin seriously I don't think you will be in a place to lovingly but firmly help your spouse through theirs. Jesus said it like this: first take the plank out of your own eye, then you will be able to see to take the speck out of your brothers! Then together you both can fight for your marriage! - Brad, from the sermonTakeaway Question: Marriage is meant to display the gospel, and how you relate to someone when you sin and they sin reveals your true grasp of the gospel. * How do you respond when your wife sins and fails…how do you respond when you husband blows it!? * What do you do when you sin and fail?

In this message we learned that its too soon to quit on our relationships and especially in our marriage. There is a hope as deep as the hurt that you feel. There is hope on the other side of this difficulty. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
