There’s a place for God in marriage—and not just in the vows or at the wedding altar—but in the everyday love, the hard conversations, and the silent prayers when no one else sees.

Marriage wasn’t man’s invention. It was God’s idea.

“And the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.’” – Genesis 2:18 (NKJV) And if God created it, then surely—He knows how it works best.

I’ve lived this truth. When I finally surrendered this area of my life to God—truly said, “Lord, even here, have Your way”—everything changed. That’s when I met my wife. And it just... made sense. She wasn’t just a beautiful person—I recognized purpose, alignment, and peace. We’ve known each other since 2017. Dated in 2019. Engaged and married in 2021. This year marks four years. And through every season, we’ve built on the same foundation: Christ.

From dating to engagement to marriage—we’ve prayed together. Fasted together. Studied the Word together. We’ve sought God not just for miracles—but for wisdom, especially in conflict. And I’ll be honest—there’s a joy and peace I can’t quite explain when you know your relationship honors the One who brought you together.

Here’s what I’ve learned:
God in your relationship doesn’t make it boring. It makes it unshakable. I’m still romantic. I plan dates. Give surprises. Propose at picnics. We laugh. We travel. We love deeply. But even with all that, I don’t put my trust in how “perfect” we are. I trust the God who connected us.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it…” Psalm 127:1 (NKJV)

And sadly, many relationships today are hurting—not because they lack love, but because they lack God. GOD IS LOVE

When He's not there, the cracks grow deeper:

Selfishness replaces sacrifice
Secrets replace transparency
Insecurity replaces trust
It becomes a contract, not a covenant
Marriage without God often becomes a performance.
With God? It becomes partnership, peace, and purpose.

So here’s my word to you:

Whether you’re single, dating, engaged, or married—make room for God.
Let Him be the builder, the guide, the glue.
Pray together.
Study the Word together.
Ask Him for discernment.
Let Him shape your hearts before you build a home.

“A threefold cord is not quickly broken.” – Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NKJV)

It’s not just about the two of you—it’s about the One who holds you together.

There is a place for God in your relationship.

And when He's in place... everything else finds its place too.
