Have you ever considered the depth of commitment marriage entails, reaching beyond the legal contract to something sacred? Our latest conversation ventures into the heart of this timeless institution, presenting marriage as a covenant that weaves together not just two lives, but also the fabric of society across generations. We invite you to reflect on the divine instruction from Ephesians 5:25, calling for a self-sacrificial love that mirrors Christ's devotion to the church. As we dissect the complexities of marital bonds, we offer insights for those wrestling with the weighty decision of divorce. Listen to advice from Dr. John Gottman and Dietrich Bonhoeffer's wisdom to Gary Chapman's Five Love Languages,  our discussion illuminates marriage as a nurturing 'house'—a crucible for love and virtue to flourish.  #drjohngottman #dietrichbonhoeffer #garychapman Elevate Your Journey with Lionel and the Word for Change Podcast! 🌟 Join our Patreon Community:  (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=94218920)  Help us make more content: paypal.me/LloydTalksLLC 🛍️ Get Words for Change Merch : (https://www.etsy.com/shop/WordsforChange?ref=dashboard-header) 🎬 Enhance Your Streaming with Ecamm Live: [Get Ecamm Live Software](https://www.ecamm.com/mac/ecammlive/?fp_ref=lionel11) (Affiliate Link) 💍 Get your Christiani Marriage Assessment (https://www.symbis.com/) Email Lionel Directly: [email protected] 🎧 Subscribe On Apple Podcasts: (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/words-for-change-podcast/id1594988934) 📖 Deepen Your Understanding with Logos Bible Software: (https://logos.refr.cc/lionelbailey) Start your journey to spiritual and personal growth with Lionel Disclaimer: ALL EXCERPTS  ARE USED FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES Support the show
