God's Design for Marriage and Sexuality ...

JONNY ARDAVANIS
About this episode

Are you waiting for the "perfect" financial situation or career milestone before getting married? Dr. Paul Twiss reveals why this dangerous mindset is causing young Christians to miss out on one of God's best gifts.

🎯 KEY TAKEAWAYS:

-Marriage is an exclusive, permanent union between one man and one woman

-Delaying marriage for career/financial milestones often leads to endless delays

-Your marriage should be a testimony to others, especially young people

-Biblical marriage is directly connected to raising children

-Studies show marriage is the #1 indicator of life happiness

BIBLICAL FOUNDATION:

This conversation dives deep into Genesis 1-2, Matthew 19, and Ephesians to show how marriage reflects Christ and the Church. Learn why marriage isn't just a cultural construct but God's ordained design for human flourishing.


FOR YOUNG SINGLES: Stop waiting for perfect circumstances. Trust God's timing and provision in marriage.


FOR MARRIED COUPLES: Display the joy and goodness of marriage to inspire the next generation.
