Marriage: The Rule Breakers – Part 1

Welcome to Marriage: The Rule Breakers, where Joe and Ann Lester dive into one of the most transformative topics—marriage as God designed it. This is more than just a discussion; it’s a call to reject the world’s view of marriage and embrace God’s perfect plan.

What is Marriage?

Marriage isn’t about legal contracts, government recognition, or societal expectations—it’s a divine covenant between a born-again man and woman, ordained by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church. Ephesians 5:25-33 gives us a clear blueprint: selfless love, sacrificial care, and unity. It’s not about control or tradition—it’s about relationship. Just as Jesus came to build a relationship with us, marriage mirrors that commitment and love.

Common Struggles in Marriage

Marriage is beautiful, but it’s not always easy. In this episode, we tackle some of the biggest challenges couples face and provide biblical wisdom to overcome them:

• Lack of Communication – James 1:19-20 reminds us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger. Honest, open conversations lead to a stronger marriage.
• Selflessness – Philippians 2:3-4 teaches us to put our spouse’s needs above our own, just as Christ sacrificed for us.
• Unequal Yoking – 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns against partnering with unbelievers. A marriage built on faith in Christ is unshakable.
• Not Putting God First – Matthew 6:33 makes it clear: Seek first His kingdom, and everything else will follow.

Practical Steps to Strengthen Your Marriage

Marriage isn’t about just surviving—it’s about thriving together in Christ-centered unity. In this episode, we break down real-life struggles and practical steps to build a strong foundation:

• Put Christ at the center – A marriage without Jesus is like a house built on sand.
• Pray together – Keeping God in your daily conversations strengthens your bond.
• Love selflessly – True love isn’t about what you get; it’s about what you give.

If you’re looking for truth, encouragement, and biblical wisdom to strengthen your marriage, this podcast is for you. Listen now to Part 1 and stay tuned for Part 2, where we dive deeper into handling conflict, balancing responsibilities, and building a lasting marriage!

The only reason we are doing any of this is, We want everyone to know Jesus, either for the first time ever, or just to know Him better, without Jesus we wouldn’t be here, and we would have no reason for living and we wouldn’t have our blessed hope.
We don't want you to know a god made up in your own image or by your "church" or religion, we want you to know the only WAY, TRUTH and LIFE. Jesus Christ the one who was, the One who is, and the One who is still to come!
I hope somehow someway something that we say or do here will help someone out and maybe help grow your relationship with Jesus, if one person gets encouragement from this than this will be 100% success, and all glory and honor to God the father and to the Lord Jesus Christ for his wonderful love endures forever!
