Marriage: A Covenant, Not a Contract

Marriage is one of the most important relationships in a person’s life. It is a commitment to love, honor, and cherish another person for the rest of their lives.

However, like any other relationship, marriage can be challenging. It is important to have a strong foundation in order to weather the ups and downs of married life.

In the video, Vincent and Valerie Woodard, the authors of “The Five Marriage Mandates”, discuss the importance of having a strong foundation in marriage.

They emphasize that marriage is a covenant, not a contract. A covenant is a sacred agreement between two people that is based on love and trust.

A contract, on the other hand, is a legal agreement that can be broken at any time.

The Woodards also talk about the importance of knowing God and having a relationship with him.

They believe that a strong marriage is built on a foundation of faith. When couples put God first in their marriage, they are more likely to overcome the challenges that they face.
