Marriage is God’s gift for joy and sanctification — but three subtle poisons can kill it: Pennies, Perversion, and Pride.Pennies – Loving money breeds fear, comparison, and discontent. Antidote: Seek first God’s kingdom (Matt 6:25–34).Perversion – Porn, withholding, or distortion twist God’s good gift of sex. Antidote: Pursue regular, healing intimacy as worship (1 Cor 7:5).Pride – “I know better” fuels unforgiveness and division. Antidote: Look to the humble Servant-King and forgive as Christ forgave us (Matt 20:28, Eph 4:32).Spot the poison, repent fast, and watch God restore joy to your covenant. Short, scriptural, and straight to the heart — hit play with your spouse.RESOURCES:Master marital communication: https://speak.fiercemarriage.comTake the 31-Day Pursuit Challenge: https://31daypursuit.comPray for your spouse with intention: https://40prayers.comTo learn more about becoming a Christian, visit: https://thenewsisgood.comThis ministry is entirely listener-supported.

Who are you Consulting? Who are you Complaining to? It’s time to CUT it out.The 200-year plan: How today’s sarcasm and discontent become tomorrow’s bitterness, affairs, or divorcePractical steps to break the cycle: Repent to God → Repent to your husband → Replace criticism with gratitude → Renew your mind daily (Romans 12:2)Husbands: this isn’t permission to be passive.

Marriage isn’t just a contract — it’s a covenant before God. Join us as we dive deep into the sacred reality that when a marriage ends, it’s more than the loss of a relationship — it’s the death of a family, the breaking of a divine promise.
