In a world that often glorifies self-fulfillment over covenant, let’s discuss the hard truths about commitment, obedience, and who truly gets the glory when marriages stand the test of time—or fall apart. If you’re wrestling with the idea of staying or leaving, this one’s for you."

"Marriage isn’t just about you or your spouse—it’s about honoring the covenant you made with God. Every time you choose to stay, to forgive, to love even when it’s hard, you bring glory to the One who joined you together. Leaving might feel like the easier path, but the greatest victories come from obedience. Remember, God’s design for marriage is bigger than your struggles—it’s a reflection of His love and faithfulness to us."
