Summary

FREE GUIDE: 7 Tips For Leveling Up Your Date Nights: https://familyteams.com/date

The world...even most of the Christian world...sees marriage wrong.

Marriage is not primarily a romantic, love-based relationship.

It's much more than that. It's a covenant, designed to create a God-honoring family that lasts 1000+ generations.

In this episode, you'll learn 3 things we've done to build our own marriage that also seems to have worked for the dozens if not hundreds of couples we're closely connected with.
