In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of the "manufactured marriage"—a relationship built on soothing mechanisms and surface-level appearances rather than God's true design for covenant and purpose. Are you merely creating an illusion of family without building a true foundation?

Discover how we often use marriage to soothe our pain, boredom, and addictions, missing the deeper calling God has for us. We'll explore the scriptural truths that reveal how God's purpose for marriage goes beyond self-serving desires and moves us into a life of purpose, leadership, and spiritual growth.

Join us as we unpack the difference between a manufactured marriage and a covenant marriage designed by God. Learn how to break the cycle of superficial living and embrace the true fear of the Lord, humility, and anointing that leads to a fulfilling, purpose-driven marriage.

Key Scriptures:

  • Joshua 1:13-15 - Finding rest and purpose in God's promises
  • 1 John 2:27 - Being taught by the anointing
  • James 1:14-15 - Understanding the dangers of being taught by our flesh
  • James 3:16 - The consequences of jealousy and selfish ambition

Topics Covered:

  • Identifying the signs of a manufactured marriage
  • God's purpose for marriage and why it's not just about us
  • The Fear Triangle: Understanding the role of fear in your marriage
  • How to move from chaos and destruction to God’s design and purpose

Don't miss this transformative episode that challenges you to break free from a life of manufactured marriage and step into the true covenant God intended for you and your spouse.
