Are You Ready or Just Rushing? Premarital Wisdom with Pastor and author John E. Pierre

What if love wasn’t the only requirement for marriage? What if timing, truth, and God’s will mattered more than your plans?

In this episode of Faces of Divorce, host Jadinah Gustave sits down with Reverend John E. Pierre — a 37-year marriage veteran, author of Never Stop Exploring, and one of the most sought-after premarital counselors in the faith community.

They dive deep into conversations rarely had from the pulpit:

• When to walk away before saying “I do”
• Why red flags are spiritual signals, not just personality quirks
• How trauma bonding can masquerade as connection
• The Church’s responsibility to restore, not shame, the divorced
• And how to truly explore your partner with intention and discernment

Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or divorced, this conversation will give you clarity, compassion, and the courage to wait for God’s best.

✨ Bonus: Rev. Pierre also shares his upcoming second book “The 19 Indisputable Principles of Marriage” and his new podcast launch.
