Marriage: It Was God’s Idea

From the first wedding in Genesis to the wedding feast of the Lamb in Revelation, Scripture reveals something stunning: God delights in marriage—and He designed it for our good and His glory. In today’s episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef reminds us that a wedding is only the beginning; marriage is a lifelong covenant instituted by God before sin entered the world. Dr. Youssef explores why marriage is far more than a personal relationship—it’s a creative force that forms families, homes, and entire cultures. Want to know where a society is headed? Look at how it treats marriage: commitment versus convenience, covenant versus redefinition, faithfulness versus fracture. And yet, every marriage faces strain—pressure, suffering, and the daily reality of human sinfulness. That’s why Dr. Youssef introduces three foundational stones that hold healthy relationships together: Selflessness Forgiveness Conversation Over the coming days, he’ll unpack each one to help you pursue a marriage crafted according to God’s original design—one that becomes a masterpiece of beauty, strength, and Gospel reflection.
