8 Things that Make a Marriage Work

If you are trying to build a strong marriage, where should you look for direction? To the one who invented this important relationship—God. He created marriage to bring us joy, so His instructions are well worth reading.

Whether your marriage is in a good place or a long way from how you would like it to be, you’ll want to listen to Jill’s thought-provoking series, in which she teaches eight key things that make a marriage work. As she explains, there are probably 100 things that make marriage work, but this series focuses on the eight biblical principles that have been the most impactful in her own 60+ years of marriage and in the relationships of those to whom she ministers.

Jill teaches why boundaries are essential to guarding your heart against temptation. She also talks about the importance of allowing God to be in charge of your marriage instead of just an observer of it.
