Episode Summary:

In this very first episode of Love Journey, I’m opening my heart and sharing the story behind my own relationship journey—the heartbreak, the lessons, and the transformation that prepared me for the marriage I prayed for.

We’re diving into why simply wanting marriage isn’t enough and how God uses seasons of surrender, healing, and growth to prepare us for the love He has for us. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with your love life or wondered why it hasn’t happened for you yet, this episode will remind you that God’s plans are always good—and His timing is perfect.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

  • Why desiring marriage alone isn’t enough to build a lasting relationship
  • The importance of surrendering your will and timing to God
  • How my season of heartbreak became the foundation for the marriage I have today
  • The three key areas that change everything in your love life:

Personal Readiness—Letting God heal and grow you first

Partner Selection—Learning to choose wisely with discernment

Relationship Education—Gaining biblical and practical tools for a marriage that lasts

Checkpoint Challenge (Your Weekly Action Step):

This week, ask God in prayer:

Lord, what do you want to heal or grow in me?”

Write down what He places on your heart and allow Him to begin shaping you for the love He has for you.
