Waiting Season 💍: What God Taught Me About Covenant Marriage (Pt. 2)

Waiting Season Part 2: What God Taught Me About Covenant Marriage — continuing Grip and Grace's Christian marriage mini-series on covenant, cohabitation, and trusting God's design for marriage.

This time I'm unpacking something our culture treats as basically the same thing but IS NOT — cohabitation and marriage — and how that question led me straight into a truth that changed how I see marriage completely: it was never meant to be a contract. I'm sharing what God has personally taught me about covenant, why He designed marriage to reflect who He is, and how understanding that has changed what I'm actually praying for while I wait.

🌸 Grip and Grace is a Christian podcast about control, anxiety, faith, and learning to surrender to God's will. New episodes every Wednesday — follow for more conversations on faith, waiting seasons, and trusting God's promises.
