Main Idea

The central theme of Pastor Carey and Meghan's sermon was that every relationship, especially marriage, should be intentional and mission-driven. They highlighted that direction, not intention, leads to our destination, and that communication, intimacy, affirmation, and a Christ-centered approach are key to a thriving relationship. They encouraged us to be proactive in our relationships by understanding the right timing for communication, maintaining a consistent and exciting intimate life, saturating our partners with affirmation, and always keeping Jesus at the heart of our union.
