The Nature of Covenant in Christian Marriage
In this episode, Pastor Cameron and Pastor Luke discuss the importance of understanding marriage as a covenant rather than a contract. They explore biblical examples of covenants, the impact of upbringing on relationships, and how covenantal marriage commitments shape behavior and expectations. The pastors address the challenges that arise when one spouse approaches marriage contractually while the other approaches it covenantally. They also explain the need for emotional health and positive patterns of connection in a marriage. The episode further touches on the difficulties couples face and the approach taken during a recent marriage conference.
