This was so wonderful.. our marriage has crumbled because it was not Christ Centered . My husband left 5 weeks ago and by Gods Grace he has drawn me closer to Jesus than I have ever been. Brothers and sisters in Christ, please put Christ at the center of your marriage. I thought I’d be with my husband another 30 years. I don’t have any control. I’m praying 🙏 for Gods will. Thank you Vlad for this amazing message.

Similar situation with my husband and I we got together and spent 17 years together both unsaved. He was verbally and emotionally abusive for many years. I got saved May 2023, he said that turned him off. In July he cheated on me, in October he moved in with the woman he cheated with. In November he lost his job, and his new woman started treating him badly, then started hitting him and yelling for him to get out. Then she called the police and said he assaulted her and her 12 year old daughter! Now my husband is in jail with no bail waiting for trial. We have a 2 year old daughter together as well. I've been getting closer and closet to God during this time, and I know He'll either save my husband, or he'll send me a godly husband and godly father for my daughter. Everything is in God's hands. He knows what's best for us. ❤

I pray for your marriage. Same thing happened to me. Husband has been gone for 4 months and just told me he isn't returning. So heartbroken 💔 but leaving it in God's hands.

I learned that you honor God by honoring your spouse. I've been married a long time and am now just beginning to grasp this idea. Glory to God

This brought me to tears. I am single, but just the thought of loving someone as God loves me blows me away 💗 God has shown me how much he loves me and I believe it’s more than I even know to acknowledge. I’ve been in abusive relationships and when you said, your relationship is only as good as your relationship with God, everything sank in. When I was far from God, no relationship in my life was healthy. Now, I have restored my relationship with family and made friends in Christ. I know God has a man in my future that will reflect the relationship we have together now ❤️ this teaching was beautiful

It really takes maturity for Covenant marriage.

I have filed for divorce but I still pray for my husband and our marriage. We have been talking in the last couple of days and we both agreed that marriage is a covenant between ourselves and God. God has provided us as individuals man and woman with biblical instruction on how to be as a husband and wife. That by following these instructions we honor God and simultaneously honor our spouse. We have decided to start fresh again with this as our foundation.

And I honestly believe God has a lot better job for my husband that won't tale him out of town so much. Thank you SO SO much! I really really appreciate your prayers!

I will continue to stay single until God sends me a covenant marriage...I dont believe in following culture nor settling for Cohabitational relationships ❤

An extremely SELFISH spouse does not get that it's not ALL ABOUT THEM, and they are not looking to give. I am amazed that a person can be kind, gentle, and encouraging, but OH...SO...SELFISH. It manifests in many other ways. Truly, truly, love HAS TO BE A CHOICE! Marriage is about DYING to self to live unto CHRIST. Ephesians 5 is God's instructions for marriage, however, people need to be taught, IN ADVANCE of marriage, specific practical applications, by couples who have "been there and done that." "I'm going to change my spouse because I'm NOT going to change my character;" true SELFISHNESS at its finest!

Thank you so much for this sermon. I’m one month into a separation from my husband of 15 years. We have four small children. Christ has never been the center of our marriage. The more my faith increased this last year the more my husband grew distant. The first and most pervasive statement from him is I deserve to be happy. I’m doing a lot of praying, reading of my Bible and repentance of my own sins in our marriage. I pray daily for his salvation, reconciliation and an intact family unit. Without a heart posture towards Jesus and our own sin nature, a joy filled marriage seems nearly impossible.

Pray fast and believe God can restore anything and anyone. Fight for your marriage if talking doesn’t work just pray that he comes back and be your husband and the father for your kids he needs to be. Don’t be afraid to ask that in prayer because ultimately thats is what Gods wants as well.

"Marriage is not about happiness, it's about holiness." Love it, marriage has responsibilities which must be honored and shouldered despite how we feel. Also, the woman at the well. Jesus saying she had five husbands and the one she's living with now is not her husband being evidence that cohabitation is not marriage in God's eyes. That marriage is something more. -- Just discovered your sermons, enjoy them and am learning much. May God continue to bless you, as He is blessing others through you.

Thank you Pastor Vlad. A covenant is Holy and the closer you are to God the closer you can be in your relationship with your spouse. Thanks for reminding us that we don't love based on how the person behave or how they love us. We love just as Christ loved us. Profound message !♡

Yes it is a blessing now I want to Covenant marriage not just a marriage by law our circumstances or benefit

Thank you Pastor Vlad for the sharing. I have been married for 11years to a man of different culture and race. In the first few years of marriage there are lots of arguments leaving for days that we would not speak with each other. Marriage is not of bed of roses, both of us are not perfect. But through God grace and guidance, family and friends support, God has been seeing us through our marriage. We are still working in our marriage by His grace.

Every couple getting married should watch this prior to getting married.

Amazing message, we must love our spouse like Christ loves us and give our life like He did. Two imperfect people coming together can only be perfect when Christ is the Lord of our hearts.

Pray for me, I desire a peaceful marriage filled with love, peace and joy 😊

" joy is a choice," dear Vla. You're so damn right! We are all selfish people. We really want to be pleased all the time! God has mercy on us.

Marriage is not about a big wedding!

Thank you a much for this sermon. I was asking in prayer last night about it and you have given answers to my questions. Thank Yahweh/Yeshua and thank you Vlad

WOW! WOW! WOW! This was awesome. What spoke to me is that my husband is a mirror for my change, love should not be based on how he make me feel but is an action, and that sex is how the covenant is created but it is not the covenant itself. Thank you for this message. God bless you man of God.

I really like the way you put together the difference between contract and convent marriage. Personally loved the quote "GOD will purposely give a wife/husband who don’t meet all your conditions to teach you how to love unconditionally". Thank you so much for the spiritual encouragement toward the covenant marriage. 😃🙏

“Love doesn’t live for its own happiness.”💯

I have been married 3 times before & just recently married for the 4th. Being the husband in a marriage, I have lived & continue to live in this truth that was preached with this sermon. Thanks be to our lord Christ, that I am fully aware now & blessed to have that “covenant marriage” with my new wife. For it not being lead by Christ daily, I would still be lost and broken. Gods word is both of our strength, no matter how difficult it gets. The confidence & trust in each comes from our confidence & trust in God. With this, we can endure all… Amen! Thank you pastor

OMG! “God did not make you a wussy; He made you a warrior!” Thank you! Sadly; that needed to be said! 🥰

Vlad, I’ve listened to 3 of your marriage sermons in the last 24 hours and I’m blown away at how God us speaking to me through them. I feel like Gods used this and your 5 reasons/Biblical Men sermon in particular to save my current relationship. Bless you, and thank you Jesus ❤

This was a great sermon. I wished my ex spouse would have seen it the same way. I pray the Lord brings me a covenant spouse.

To submit to one another and to put Christ first in a marriage. To love, not as the world loves, but Godly love for one another. Love is a choice. God bless this ministry and bless you all!

Amen! Better be cancelled by culture than be cancelled by God. ❤🙏🏼

This was such a blessing for me as a single man who is ready to court. The breakdown of the three marriages was so on point and real. The part about you looking in mirror 🪞 is extremely true.

I take home the fact that God designed marriage, so we are not 100% satisfied by our spouse. because he is jealous for us, and he wants to fill that gap with his word to sanctifie us. thank you for your openness it really ministers how we are saved by his good works not our own.

Such a blessing. Not married but great preparation

I can’t describe how thankful I am for you, and for this lesson. A particular subject was mentioned and I was suddenly overwhelmed with the reminder of a transgression I had committed in the past. I felt an intense urge to pray for forgiveness. I had one of the most rewarding interactions with God. And I feel so much lighter. God spoke to me today, and I felt his forgiveness and love. I thank him for this inspiration he sent through you.

Thank you so much. I have found your sermons on marriage and the roles that we each have in marriage and relationships convicting and eye opening. I am divorced sadly, but believe that God has a beautiful plan for me. I want to make sure that I do everything that I can for God to someday have a Godly marriage to a Godly man that he has chosen for me. You are a beautiful Real blessing!! Thank you 🙏🏼

Great sermon , so real , don't let the sun go down in disagreement ! Lots of adjustments when married , aka still single , only 61 , there is always hope and divine guidance and prayer❤ Thank You pastor Slav!

Thanks for putting my philosophy towards marriage and speaking into reality. People think I’m crazy but I’m in a covenant marriage with a man who doesn’t know Christ. I’m in it for the long haul but I am believing for his salvation.

Pray but keep your funds seperately. Do not give him any money and do not pay for any debt if he has taken any. Be strict and firm and set your boundries. If possible talk to him and if he wants to get rid of the addiction then you can together set a gambling block on him if its available where you live. It helps. If the gambling is triggered by alcohol, he must get rid of that addiction too or it will not end. Be strong. May the Lord bless you both and keep you from harm. You can message me privately if need to talk.

These sermons on marriage have been a major blessing to my heart. I sent it over to my wife hopefully she enjoys there sermons as well!

Thank you for this message

Thank you brother! Beautiful sermon. Very well said and I was blessed by it.

I have listened to a lot of talks on marriage and read a lot of books. I think I got the most out of this message than all the others. I had recently prayed asking the Lord what I could do-- what am I doing wrong, etc... and this is was the answer I received. I sort of knew this before, but this message made it very clear. It has given me a paradigm shift-- a new way of seeing things, which is what I think I needed. I really wish I would have known this before getting married or at least early in our marriage. We have been married for a long time. Both are committed to staying married, but suffering in the process, not really resolving the issues. Thank you Pastor Vlad for your teaching, but also for being so transparent and saying hard things that others are afraid to do. We need the truth. You also made me laugh too, which was nice. God bless you and your lovely wife.

Yes your message great. We need these message.
