Marriage is God’s idea designed to bring love, belonging, and a glimpse of heaven on earth. But what do you do when conflict builds, expectations clash, or your relationship feels stuck?
This week in our Heaven on Earth series, guest Pastor Bob Merritt shares practical and biblical wisdom from 47 years of marriage, counseling, and life experience. Drawing from Scripture and real-life stories, he unpacks four non-negotiables that every marriage needs to thrive:
Lock the exit door — commit for the long haul.
Allow for imperfections — nobody’s perfect.
Give and receive bids — build connection in small daily ways.
Eliminate all others — protect your marriage from outside threats.
Whether you’re single, dating, newly married, or celebrating decades together, this message will encourage you with hope, honesty, and God’s design for lasting love.
