In this podcast episode, Yemi and Philia discuss the last couple in Dr. David Clarke's book, Joseph and Mary; a couple that embodied serious commitment to each other and their partnership. Mary and Joseph are real couple goals. Despite countless opticals, the couple endured because they were committed to God and to each other. Our last couple of the book exemplifies perseverance, love and respect for each other. Without their obedience to God and the covenant of marriage, they would not have survived the trials. It was because of God's intervention, via a message from an angel, that Joseph did not divorce Mary. Modern day couples are quick to divorce because of the inconvenience of their marriage in their personal lives. Covenant and commitment should not be used as temporal actions. These are binding forever. If Mary and Joseph could do it with all they had going on, we can do it as well (absent the extreme circumstances that were previously discussed). Are you ready to honor your marriage covenant? Are you ready to be completely and totally committed? Or what excuse do you have today?
