In this episode, Trent and Emily share their beautiful and unique story — marrying later in life and learning together how marriage between a man and a woman fits into God’s eternal plan. For Trent, it's a second marriage after losing his first wife; for Emily, it's her first. Together, they offer heartfelt insights about timing, trust, and what it means to walk the covenant path--together.
We talk about:
- 16:25 — Asking: "What do I really want?"
- 18:40 — The difference between the "covenant path" and God's "eternal plan"
- 22:00 — Why ideals are not indictments
- 31:00 — How marriage helps us become our “favorite self” — "If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."
- 35:00 — God's distinct design for marriage between male and female
- 49:00 — Training and aligning our desires
Their story is a gentle, hope-filled reminder that while timing may differ, the doctrine remains the same — inviting each of us to trust God's beautiful design for marriage and family.
