Scriptures:

“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female.’ ⁷‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, ⁸and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.“ – Mark 10:6-8 (NIV)

“For with God nothing will be impossible.“ – Luke 1:37 (NIV)

Hold Yourself Accountable:

Acknowledge that the reality of marriage will more likely than not differ from your expectations prior to marriage.

Apply the Kingdom Principle:

“The way of the [arrogant] fool [who rejects God’s wisdom] is right in his own eyes, but a wise and prudent man is he who listens to counsel.” – Proverbs 12:15 (AMP)
