Such a Blessing

This podcast has been a tremendous blessing to me and my husband-to-be. Thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you in this way. We have talked about so much that we would have never thought about before. It’s amazing for working on a firm foundation before Marriage.

ESSENTIAL FOR ENGAGED OR DATING COUPLES!

I know firsthand the challenges of not properly preparing for marriage. I went through an ugly divorce at the age of 26 after a very abusive marriage. Now, I am happily dating and very close to getting engaged to an incredible woman! Listing to this premarriage podcast has strengthened us and encouraged us more than I could ever explain. Although we do a lot right, we have learned and applied a lot of the topics discussed in this podcast!
