Many people in this generation despise marriage. It is no longer regarded as a spiritual institution ordained by God for our true happiness (i.e., happiness as determined by the Lord). If marriage is to be enjoyed, it must be on God’s terms. How must we engage in marriage, in order to enjoy the eternal bliss reserved in it for us?

In a time where marriage is under attack, Pastor Jeffrey Walter is inspired by the Lord to restore sanity and hope in marriage by painting vividly what God intends marriage to be. Throughout the month of February, by the series, “Love, Relationships, Marriage and Matters Arising”, he presents godly wisdom on what the Lord intends for marriage to be, as well as the prescribed methods by which it is to be engaged in.

In this message, “How To Be Miserable In Marriage - Part 2”, Pastor Walter affirms that only those who are spiritual can succeed in marriage. He passionately continues to expose some of the wrong expectations which bring us misery in marriage. He demonstrates practically how our ego brings us misery in marriage. Further, he reveals that friendship (like-mindedness based on spirituality) is not automatic in marriage. He goes on to reveal how this friendship can be achieved.

Beloved, although these wrong expectations come to us naturally, we must continually stop ourselves from having these expectations, as we engage in marriage. You can enjoy true marital bliss by following divinely ordained principles.
