Dear Future Wifey

Some encounters that seem accidental are simply God’s divinity at work connecting you to your soul mate. Who would think an accidental IG video call would lead to a love story? Meet Isiah Williams and Kelli Marie. These kingdom-submitted individuals have fallen in love under the most unlikely circumstances. Hear how their love unfolded in an episode entitled, “IG Love.”

Some people are married to the thought of being married while others view it as a ministry God called them into. Many would say getting married at nineteen is too young. However,  @Kaelin and Kyrah articulate their choice to get hitched as a deep expression of their God-ordained love, birthed out of sheer intentionality. This episode jumpstarts an 8-part series entitled, "The Marriage Vows." Be inspired by "This Kind of Love."

The traditional marriage vows were created in 1549 and were first introduced in the Book of Common Prayers. Today, we’re unpacking the vow “To Have and To Hold” with a 51-year-old divorcee, Gerri Fisher. Listen as he transparently shares the moments when this sacred vow was violated and how it lead to the demise of his marriage. Never take for granted the life-long privilege “To Have and To Hold.”

My friends, Tavia and Jewel Whitlowe, are on the brink of divorce. Separated. Twenty-four years of matrimony hang in the balance with a wing and a prayer. This is one of the most time-sensitive and vulnerable episodes to date. Watch the power of God move in this third installment of the “Marriage Vows Series” entitled, “For Better or For Worse.”

The marriage vows have undergone several revisions since its first introduction in 1549. The biggest revision came on September 12, 1922, when the Episcopal Church voted to remove the word “obey” from the bride’s section of the wedding vows. Let’s unpack the original vow “to Love, Cherish, and Obey” with our dynamic special guests, Carrington and Ashley Brown.

One of the leading causes of divorce is finances. We utter this vow not realizing our power, as a unified couple, to overcome financial hardships when they arise. Today’s guests, Leticia and Rod Gardner, transparently share how they’ve dealt with the sacred vow, “For Richer or For Poorer.”

No one expects their spouse to get terribly sick or hospitalized. It breaks my heart to hear stories of spouses who leave their mate in the hospital bed; leaving them to struggle with a terminal illness alone. The cop-out often said is, “I didn’t sign up for this.” Oh, but you did. Kingdom-minded purpose partners David and Tamela Mann transparently share their 33 years of marriage as they candidly unpack the vow “In Sickness and In Health.”

Love never dies. Unfortunately, we do. No one knows the number of years they’ll share with their spouse. How does one cope after losing the love of their life? Kimberly Alexander shares her heartfelt love journey that ultimately culminated with “Til Death Do Us Part.”

Fifty percent of U.S. marriages end in divorce. However, no one gets married believing they will become the statistic on the failed side of marriage. Samantha Lee is going through a painful and public divorce. She shares her journey of faith and what ultimately lead to the heartbreaking decision of filing for "Divorce." 

There are no words to describe this episode. This is something you’ll just have to experience. Here to wrap up the “Marriage Vows Series” are Tim and Juliette Ross. Listen as they transparently share their dynamic marriage journey in an episode entitled, “Marriage Remix.”
