No man or woman is an Island and yet we sometimes think we don't need anyone else on our relationship journey. This assumption could not be further from the truth! We need our inner circle of Godly friends to be part of the journey because they can help us identify some dangers we refuse to see. Listen to this episode to learn more about the value of Godly friends when it comes to dating.
It's never to early to start preparing for the Marriage Ministry. If you want to know how, we provide some helpful ways for both men and women to prepare for marriage in their period of waiting. This is the second half of our 2 part Episode on marriage preparation so please be sure to listen to both!
For many people, Marriage prep seems to start when they get engaged. However, it is very important to start thinking about the preparation now. Marriage is not all about a wedding or what you have to do with another person. To be ready, you need to start working on yourself in your period of singleness! We hope this episode makes you start to think of what you can do now instead of "waiting to be found" or doing the "finding". The stage of singleness is very critical.
The world makes submission seem like a loss of power for women but God is faithful in his design and His plan for marriage is ultimate. Hear how we have navigated through issues of submission and leadership in marriage and how God has been at the center.
The Bible tells wives to submit themselves unto their own husbands. What does that look like? Is this an outdated message? Should women be oppressed? On this episode we take a stab at answering these questions. Not only do you get to hear from us, we also have guests who have been married for some time to share their wisdom with us.
Our bodies are the temple of Christ and our hearts can be deceitful so it is very important that we maintain both physical and emotional boundaries when dating. We are called to treat each other with honor which means we must honor our partners bodies and emotions. In this Episode we discuss ways in which we can maintain reasonable emotional and physical boundaries while dating. We want to start a discussion on our Instagram page so if you are not already doing so follow us @themensahs18
For a relationship to thrive there are certain things that must exist. We believe that it is very important to have healthy expectations because they help a person to identify red flags and also to not stand to be treated in a way that is not God honoring. We also recognize that people can change and we hope that if anyone is not honoring their partner, they can learn to improve their behavior by hearing what God expects from us.
Have you been in a relationship where you felt your time was wasted? Have you wasted a partners time? Does the Bible have anything to say about the reasons to start a relationship? In this Episode you will hear why we think the timing for starting a relationship is extremely significant and can be a contributor to the success of a relationship.
On this Trailer, you will get a sense of what our podcast will focus on! We are so happy to be starting this and we hope our podcast will help shed some light on what a great Christian relationship can be.
