The Selfless Foundation of Marriage

What destroys marriages faster than conflict, stress, or busy schedules? Selfishness. In this powerful opening message, Dr. Michael Youssef teaches that marriage is not a man-made contract—it is a divine covenant created by God. Rooted in Philippians 2:3–4, Dr. Youssef shows how putting Christ at the center transforms even broken places into beauty. He calls husbands and wives to live with Biblical selflessness, marked by: Maturity (growing up spiritually), Magnanimity (choosing generosity over scorekeeping), Malleability (humility that yields, listens, and learns). Dr. Youssef also warns against cultural lies that twist God’s design and urges every believer—married or single—to uphold the Truth of Scripture in a drifting age. This isn’t just marriage advice—it’s a call to repent, intercede, and live out the Gospel where it counts most: at home.
