What do you think is the most important quality of a healthy marriage?
Putting God First
Doing what honors God
Putting God first. A close second, communication. With God and with each other.
COMMUNICATION
Compromising...period!🤩🤩🤩🤩
My wife and I are currently separated. There’s been extreme healing in my heart and soul, but she’s not there yet. I ask you all to pray with me that she will find her path back towards me, so we can have a renewed, transformed marriage!!!
Father God we thank You for Your goodness and Your mercy. We come together asking You for Your continued work in this marriage and in them individually. We thank You in advance for the work You stand ready to do. In Jesus name, amen.

Ok. What did you do? What did she do? Not praying for an unknown
Oklahoma Farmer I will pray for you both. Regardless of the offenses committed I will pray for forgiveness both ways. It’s better to resolve a relationship than to dissolve one. With God all things are possible!
She’ll get there… keep praying! Any good work Jesus starts in someone he’ll finish..☝️❤️
God Bless You! But keep your eyes set to the kingdom and all will be added to you😇❤️
I dont want to tell you what to do, but itll likely be hard and take lots of work. You have to help her get there. You have to help each other get there together. I hope it all works out well. We are all rooting for you
If you see marriage as something super special and sacred, you will treat YOUR marriage and something that is super special and sacred.
Ooh this is good. It's about our perception
@@christ_ie3714 yes, exactly
Agreed !!!!!
Hebrews 13:4 Let marriage be held in honor (esteemed worthy, precious, of great price, and especially dear) in all things. And thus let the marriage bed be undefiled (kept undishonored); for God will judge and punish the unchaste [all guilty of sexual vice] and adulterous.
I recommit my life to Christ with healthy boundaries that honor my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen.
Remeber God got you turn to Him whenever we fall short he's always there and trust Him.
God bless u
Amen!

You don't mock the Lord eternally. What we have sown , we are reaping it now.
We have sown demonic feminism within the body of Christ , focusing like crazy on the husband's conduct towards the wife ( which fuels the wife with pride and self entitlement) when the BIBLE does the exact opposite.
Marriage today is a sad joke. Don't expect the Lord to bless those phony sexless female-dominated marriages that dishonour the Lord and blaspheme the Word.
I stumbled upon this video as I started completing divorce paperwork. Marriage is difficult when God isn’t at the center and the reason.
Did the video help you stop the divorce?
That’s me.❤️ God, please bring healing to my broken marriage. Help me to not point the finger at my husband but to fix my thoughts and actions on what I can do that is pleasing to You Lord. Thank you, in Jesus name I pray, Amen. Praise the Lord.❤️
I’m separated also watching this video was so clear to me about my relationship to my husband all honesty I didn’t want God to fix it I forgave him and moved on but just these past few days we’ve been talking and sharing and now this video it’s Got to be God for the enemy hates marriages
I’m praying for you and your spouse please keep me in prayer 🙏 for my marriage for i am separated to since September of 2022 this will be our 3 rd time getting married if we do
@@tammymillington2966
"the enemy hates marriages"
So does the modern woman ...
So many ppl need to hear this cuz so many relationships are living in dysfunction
That's why I shared it🙏 Someone needs to hear this now🕊
I'm not married... but this is preparing me for that day! Love this, Pastor Craig!
♥️
Amen GLORY
@ Drew Bosack
There was a time (not so distant I think) when the emphasis was put on the WIFE 's conduct and duties as the BIBLE does. Guess what ? Marriage lasted till death and was way stronger.
Now that the TREACHEROUS church in bed with her feminist lovers has done the opposite of God's will , everything is falling apart .
You don't mock the Lord eternally.
Marriage can be a blessing when it is a blessing.
I don't think the romantic type of love is special, and I think that the romantic type of love isn't real. I mean about more than half of romantic couples either break up with each other or divorce each other. I think humans should just ditch concepts like dating, marriage, and pair bonding. I feel like this world would be a much better place without romance than it is with it.
I’m surrendering my life to Jesus 🙌🏻
My husband and I are separated, and we are focusing on personal growth with God.
I pray yall can work it out. I hope he sees this!
Its hard sometimes, isn't it? Big grandma cyberhug.
Hubby and have had major hard times too.
Hang in there sweetheart.
Same here, I'm separated from my wife. God has used it as such an intimate and redemptive time. Praise him In the storm.
Praying over your relationship ❤🙏🏻
These videos popped up randomly this afternoon. I am in a bad spot emotionally and relationally.. I listened for four hours in the lodge while my children skied outside. Craig, you took me off a ledge I stood at the edge of.
Praise God! So glad you, Shanta, are here, and thanks for sharing with us!
We’re praying God brings hope and peace in your life in the days ahead. If you’re interested in learning more about how you can connect with God’s peace, this is a great place to start: finds.life.church/tag/hope/

”Whoever finds God, finds life!”
Great video, I was in a beautiful marriage before my now ex wife left me,i still love her and most times i can't stop thinking about her, i am doing my very best to get rid of the thought of her, but i just can't, i love her so much, i don't know why i am bring this here for, i can't stop thinking about her.
it's always difficult to let go of someone you love, i was in a similar situation my wife for 12 years left me, i couldn't just let her go i did all i could to get her back, i had to seek the help of a spiritual adviser who helped me bring her back.
Hi @Jack Royston, maybe you can find a Divorce Care on a church close to you. It has been helping me a lot. Support is fundamental.
Sorry for your circumstance. Unfortunately this is the world we now live in, which seeks to reshape how women view relationships and men. My advice is to GET TO THE GYM, focus on yourself and your walk with the Lord.
@@jamesbennett3843
Modern females screw every marriage they touch because men just LOOOVE them (like silly simps) but are no men enough to rule over them anymore (Genesis 3:16).
The more men love women , the more they hate them.
How paradoxical ! How far we are from the lies taught by the modern church in bed with the world !
Men have an idealistic vision of love , women have an opportunistic one.
When men are told over and over and over and over to love their wives and nothing else , they fall in the TRAP set up by modern women who just care about themselves and who hate both men and their children.
The BIBLE that is NOT taught anymore always starts off its marital instruction with the conduct and duty of the WIFE for a reason.
The post modern church does the opposite.
And you wonder why so many marriages fail ?
You think we can mock the Lord eternally ? If God did not spare the Jews who were his people , how would he spare us , original pagans grafted onto the olive tree ?
How come so many marriages are not blessed and don't resemble Proverbs 31 or Psalm 127/128 ?
No need to seek further . Feminist lies and flawed vision of things have replaced GOD's vision . God's vision is SO male-centric that it cannot fit the feminist lies of the modern church.
But don't worry . It is always THE LORD who will have the last say and we will PAY for that.
Go get her
I'm going to honor God in my marriage 🙌🙏❤️
❤️🙌
Marriage is a great blessing indeed! A good marriage does not come easy :)
That said, nothing worth having comes easy.
So true!
THANK YOU for delivering this honest message about what is in the Bible, and not trying to tell something that "sounds better in peoples ears". Thank you for being brave and saying truth from the Word and to go against what society teaches today. This is so important! This is what is keeping me connected to this church. I need to learn about Gods truth and not the falseness and lies of the world that is all around. I really appreciate it.
You make some great points people feel like they can just get mad and leave
Thank You for teaching the next generation the truth of the Word concerning marriage! So thankful.
❤️ - Heather, Team LC
I am ready to surrender my perspective of godly rel. to Jesus
Good morning! Praise God for another day. Thank you Jesus all of the blessings that I woke up with today.
Such a good Word....thank you Pst Craig!
That’s me. I pray for renewal of my body, soul and spirit. I pray for forgiveness for the sins of my first marriage and my ignorance, unfaithfulness, and dishonor of my first husband. I pray for my new marriage and forgive me of my sins, in Jesus name. There is so much in this message that convicted me. Thank you God for showing me more of your love.
He is such a loving Father! Praying for your new marriage , peace over you and wholeness!

I surrender myself to you Jesus 🙌🙌
Thank you for this heart felt message amen 🙏
THANK you…, for this wonderful Message 😇
Send it to my Friends, too❣️
I admire you as a friend. Your thoughts on marriage actually shine a light on me.
This is one of the best sermons on this subject that I have ever heard. I love how God convicted you to stay alone for 2 years, and what you did during those 2 years! Thank you for sharing this extremely important truth, during a time when so many need to understand what God wants from us in our dating and relationships. If someone is willing to do it God's way, rest assured, its most likely going to be a blessing for life. God bless you for teaching the truth to us so humbly, and may you continue to grow in your ministry!❤🎉
Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us! It's amazing to hear how this sermon resonated with you. Trusting in God's plan for our relationships can truly lead to blessings. May you continue to be blessed in your journey of faith and relationships. ❤️🙏

This is SO good! Such a freeing and clear Word.
Great sermon
Great preaching Pastor!!
I really needed to hear this.
AMEN Pastor Craig. Thank you for being truthful via scripture. And thank you Jesus. 🙏🏼
🙌❤️
I love that this series is starting now that I've watched the Single, Dating, Engaged, Married message series by Ben Stuart. God has completely and utterly changed my perspective about marriage this past year and I already thought of marriage as something more than a contract/piece of paper. I am so incredibly grateful to have these series on CZcams to watch over and over again and learn something new with every watching. Thank you for this message, Pastor Craig. 🙂
Such a fantastic series by Ben! I've watched through it a few times myself and always have new takeaways each time. If you have the opportunity, buy the book too. He goes deeper on some of his thoughts and I enjoyed it very much! So thankful for the resources available to all of us!
Great message.
Hallelujah God wants us blessed!!
That's me! 🙌🙌🙌
This blessed me so much!
Whatever you do, Whatever your status.
Honor HIM with the thing that you do.

My husband and I have been struggling in our marriage and I am praying to Jesus to help us. I surrender myself to Jesus and help guide me. Amen
God, I lift up this marriage. I ask that you help them both to see each other through your eyes of love, understanding, grace and compassion. I pray that you work in them both, giving them a willingness to forgive and seek reconciliation. God, I ask for patience as they navigate how you will work in this marriage and choose to put you first. Protect both of them from ungodly influences that strain their marriage and their trust. Work in and through them to bless each other in this difficult time. In your name, Amen.

So good 👍
Amen 💗
That's me🙏🕊
The key to a relationship is extending forgiveness and grace into the other person as God has to us and being quick to forgive. With God at the center you can overcome most obstacles.
@ MC M
The key to marriage is the submission of the wife Ephesians 5:25 /1 Peter 3, something that the post modern church intentionally silences while banging on about how a man should LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE his wife.
Pure feminist manipulation.
No need to wonder why marriages are not blessed anymore.
@@framboise595 Ephesians 5:25-27 KJV
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
Wives need to submit, husbands need to honor their wives like christ honored the church. The husband and wife submit to eachother.
@@Jaasmine
No they don't ! Does Christ submit to his church ? No he does not.
He guides her and provides for her but he is the one who rules over her and who will have the last say.
Christ also rebukes and punishes his church if he judges it right to do so Revelation chapter 3 .
The husband submits to CHRIST . Not to his wife !! Adam did that ! Adam the simp was the perfect example of that "mutual submission" LIE that caused him to lose his original glory .
Marriages today don't work anymore because the husband is ruled over in and out of the bedroom.
The result = a sexless hell , a place wide open for all kinds of carnal temptations when it should be a SINFIX.
1 Corinthians 7:4/5
I’m surrendering to Jesus! Amen!

That’s me!
I still struggle to this day in 2007 I met my ex and we did everything by the book through our church and the Word and all the premarital counseling and workshops with our church! I thought we were united in God FOREVER! 6 Months later he walked out with no explanation I have never been the same! And I refuse to ever date now! Marriage is not what they say it is no one stays no matter what now they just walk away!
You’re hurting. I’m sorry you are going through this. Marriage is truly the most difficult relationship to stay in. But it’s also reflective of our relationship with Christ.
I hear you. (((Hugs)))
Great analogy. God bless you Craig for being unapologetically Christian.

Marriage is not a contract but, a covenant. The difference has been expressed vividly.
