The fact that Lisa made a promise to her boys that she would never marry again if John ever died is so amazing!! ❤ John you are SO LUCKY

Was me and my husband for many years until the last two years. He ended up having two double lung tyrants plants.. I ended up taking care of him when he was in and out of any hospital and let me tell you.. I felt so angry all these years for many reasonable desires he had but when I had to take care of him I prayed and told God.. I need.. joy and love and patience… He .. gave… me… just that. I wish I’d prayed for wisdom and understanding beforefore he was so sick but… I praise God.. He and He alone took me to a place I needed to be for him and when he died 6 months ago.. I didn’t suffer.. I knew I’d done what I’d lead me to do. He gave me the grace to give him when he didn’t deserve it but I also didn’t deserve a savior dying on a cross for me. He is a Holy.. loving and a God ful of undress grace.

Stubborn = prideful= sinful Humility and forgiveness are needed. It's not an easy conversation but truth about how you really feel starts to open a pathway.

I agree that God cares about both--happy and holy, but there was a time in my life when I really NEEDED to hear that it wasn't about happy, it was about holy because my marriage was a nightmare, and because of that, other people offered the worldly advice that, "Well, if you're not happy, you should leave, because you deserve to be happy." I think there are seasons that we need to stay, even though we're not happy, because we desire God more than we desire our selfish desires. I'm there right now!

THANK YOU for sharing. Marriage is a covenant and a covenant requires commitment. John is right. Marriage involves 3 people. Much love xxx

My husband and I cannot wait to lead “The Story of Marriage” life group starting next Friday! Please Pray for us and those attending. Mahalo!!

Just married 22 yrs yesterday marriage is broken just roomates no communication he doesnt want to pray go to church with me or read bible very alone

I love your podcasts and appreciate the Godly wisdom that you share. I would like to respectfully ask that you both work harder to stop interrupting each other and talking over one another. If you're going to teach about Godly marriages, then you need to exhibit healthy communication skills. One of the greatest forms of love we can offer another person is to listen to them to understand and stop listening to them to respond. When you continually interrupt and talk over another person, you are not listening to understand, and you are not respecting them in your communication. This is a main contributor to unhealthy and unsuccessful marriages because people do not feel heard and understood. Again, I share this respectfully from a heart that is very grateful for your teachings.

I agree with this insight for the very reason that I struggle with this in my own marriage. It is a deep-seated area of concern that needs immediate attention between two strong-willed people in order to crush the habit of rudeness in communication. It becomes dis-honoring when we don't give the other person a chance to express their thoughts without interrupting them, even when we don't agree. Jumping in to correct them or add our two cents , over time, produces 2 porcupines that can't get close because they have learned to be on guard. We can be speaking the truth, but if it isn't heard, what's the point?

I personally think their interruptions are done in a healthy, respectful way. They are very respectful of what the other has to say, and have no criticisms of each other in any way. Their corrections of each other are done very little and in a very respectful way.

@maryanne8452

@deborahallen4169 If you study anything at all about healthy communication, you will immediately learn that interrupting is never acceptable. When you interrupt, you are telling someone that what you have to say is more important than what they are saying. So, to suggest that their interruptions are healthy and respectful is an oxymoron.

Thank you for being so vulnerable. We just celebrated our 41st. We are currently in a challenging season. I’m praying, worshipping, and trying above all to listen. I’ve been walking with the Lord for 44 years. Again, thank you

Marriage is a beautiful thing but God has to be in everything! Married for 14 years and it will be ups and downs and sometimes we just disconnect from marriage because of stress, work and other issues but we must seek God for help

Such perfect timing. Please pray for our fully redeemed restored blessed better than ever marriage ! Because right now it is a nightmare.

Learning so much!!!! ❤😍 Married almost a year and had our first babygirl. Can’t wait to apply these beautiful virtues in my relationship with God and my husband. What a perspective change. Thank you guys for being my adoptive youtube parents!

Love this. Great teaching. My wife and I have our own saying to remind us that we are different but we make each other better and offset our faults/imperfections. We say “HOME TEAM” .

I would love to hear more about how John was able to treat Lisa as if she was perfect. I find this the most challenging. Also would love prayer for my marriage too as we are both stubborn and it feels like a nightmare at times. Thank you for what you both do for Marriages ❤

Thank you sooo much for this. As a couple in our early 30s we really need godly guidance like this❤ Please do share more (on the next one) on what Ps John mentioned about putting God first but not mistaking that for putting church first? How do we serve the Lord passionately in the church without ending up compromising our marriages and building our households

My marriage is a dry land right now. I see no hope, I have no joy I feel like the worst mistake I made

This is such a NOW Word! Thank you for this

Yes. This made me cry. I've felt so discouraged. My husband and I got married young. 14 years and 3 kids later, he decided to cheat on me. In divorce process now. So sad.

Loved this episode. I cannot tell you how beneficial your stories and marriage has been to my husband and I this past year. We are so grateful for you being open and sharing. Thank you!

I love your podcasts! thank you for sharing your lives, so ours can be better ♥

I am not married but I enjoyed this conversation and found it helpful. I’m glad for this conversation and it came at a great time as I have a family member I instantly thought of to share this with. ❤

Thank you so much for your honesty, this was so needed!

Thank you for sharing your struggle and admitting being stubborn. I can relate!! And I respect you more because you were vulnerable. Thank you for caring enough about marriage to have this conversation.

Please keep posting these marriage ones, the advice is so helpful. God bless you both for sharing the good truth❤

WOW!!! What a testimony of keeping in step with the Holy Spirit.

There are a lot that feeds the wrong thing. We guard our hearts and minds by guarding our conversations.

Thank you so much . I needed to hear this coming from restoration in my marriage .I’m still going through my husband ignoring me.

Btw, yall are both so adorable together! So passionate about the Lord, loving telling the same stories, both keeping it real!

Thank for this episode

Thank you, I needed to hear this

Thank you guys so much. Love you both!

I exist in a marriage where my husband is completely switched off, numb, non-communicative, wont go for therapy, for prayer, for counseling nothing, I've tried to talk to him & he just stares at me blankly. This is a prison. Neither of us can afford to leave so we remain stuck in this limbo of nothingness.

Sounds exactly like my husband. Mine has Aspergers Syndrome. Maybe yours does too. Having said that I believe we can still use the strategies the Beveres are talking about. While listening I realized that because of my hurt (no excuse) I have stopped praying for my husband. Well all that changes as of today. Thank you John and Lisa.

Great message

Timely. I'm not married yet but this helps. Thank you.

Thank you

Beautiful couple ❤

Exactly. It can be BOTH ❤

Merging of souls, makes me think about the Trinity. Three distinct Beings, yet 100% in agreement, and ONE. (Hope this makes sense)

Marriages matter...Amen

Thank you?

Awesome! Hey John and Lisa this was Amazing! The Couple you referred to where the wife was providing care for seniors....do they have a website or Social Media platforms....I'm currently writing a business plan to open a Christian residential assisted living home for seniors in Columbia SC.

It does sound like it doesn’t matter if you are happy. Marriage should make you both happy and Holy

Jacob never chose Lia …and many never chose the real man they married ..the problem with marriage in my mind starts ..way before they stand before the Lord ..in a Church

I agree I'm living a nightmare. I've be married 20 years I love the Lord I go to church and my husband goes 1st a month 🙏

Mine is trust issues how to move forward instead of keep going backwards in the past but every day it haunts me of lying and cheating I know he loves me and I love him but I don't know how to overcome this to make the relationship stronger and knowing that he really loves me

Brilliant and with such great practical advice =treat your spouse the way they can be / like you want to have them! Like Christ did for us before we made him our Lord and started to obey him... Just before I heard / listened to another message of you two on the 30th anniversary of your book the bait of Satan. And then I already thought there should be another book called: "The (various / many ) baites of Satan on your marriage" and this should mention not only unforgiveness, but also how Satan uses it when we are in bitterness, not contend with our partners, when we feel not enough cared for / not loved enough to bring another person in our life to tempt us! And very often he is successful- sadly! I think he is successful as we do often not follow your advice = the one you have given here. Again such a brilliant message -greetings from Germany

It’s 12 cows for us Zulu’s in South Africa. I love your Podcast 🫶🏽

I found a great life partner but intimacy has been a struggle for a long time.

Can you please provide the scriptural reference that says marriage is a covenant between God, the husband and the wife. Thank you

🔥🔥🔥

❤❤❤

When you said at 11:00 minutes “I believe we choose to love, then feelings come”. What if feelings come first and is followed by a choice to love. Is this a realistic equation for a successful and Godly relationship?

Judging by divorce rate I don't think Christians staying in marriage when not happy they leave and seek happiness elsewhere

I wish people would read the Amplified version. It reads much differently in this case 'cover your garment (wife) in violence' and 'men who do such ' don't have a remnant of the (Holy) spirit in them'. This reads as if it is a case of violence against wives.

❤❤

The Lord gave me this verse this morning!! I am in a battle for our marriage! Is 43:14-28 Mal 2:11-17 Matt 5:27-30 1 Cor 6:18

There’s nowhere in the bible that it says there’s “a 7 year period of tribulation and simultaneous marriage supper of the lamb “,though it’s widely taught in the ‘church’ as being the case🤔

Interesting. John looks so fatigued. Where is the light and spark he always had? Bless you, brother.

Sooo, what if you weren’t married by church only by law?

I have a question, if the couple are not true believers is the sanctity of marriage still under God's grace? I feel it is because God created marriage, what's your opinion?

Please help me

My husband is cheating, drinking, lying, goes out often every night and cones home after 2 am, last weekend he came home at almost 1pm the next day w a lame excuse. He has been unemployed for 7 months. I'm his 5th wife. It's seems i am the one who lasted the longest. It's my 2nd marriage that will end in cheating. I'm burned out. 🙏
