In this reflective devotional, Lynette Kittle draws our hearts back to the true meaning of marriage as a holy, lifelong union, not just a lavish celebration. As culture emphasizes the spectacle, this prayer reminds us to honor the spiritual significance of marriage, whether in our own lives or in supporting others.

💡 What You'll Hear:


A challenge to refocus our understanding of marriage from industry to intimacy


Encouragement for those postponing marriage due to worldly pressures


Biblical insight on marriage as a spiritual covenant, not just a contract


A powerful prayer to affirm and uplift both our own marriages and those around us

📖 Scripture References:


Genesis 2:24 – Becoming one flesh


Hebrews 13:4 – Honoring the marriage bed


Ecclesiastes 4:12 – A cord of three strands


Mark 10:9 – Let no one separate


Ephesians 5:25 – Husbands love your wives

🧠 Key Takeaway:

Marriage isn’t just worth celebrating on a wedding day—it’s worth honoring daily as a sacred symbol of God’s covenant love, reflecting Christ and His bride, the Church.
