The power that holds a marriage together over the years is a commitment to each other
Ever wondered why some relationships stand the test of time while others crumble? This episode of 'Hope, Healing & Freedom' dives into the concept of covenant versus contract relationships. Lee Whitman from Restoring the Foundations International shares heartwarming anecdotes and biblical insights to help you understand the essence of true commitment. He kicks off with a touching story about a young couple, Tina and Mark, who sought premarital counselling, highlighting the importance of commitment over mere feelings of love.
Lee draws from his personal experiences and his parents' 65-year marriage to illustrate the power of unwavering commitment. He explains that many modern relationships falter because they operate on a contract mindset—where obligations are conditional—rather than a covenant mindset, which is based on unconditional love and faith. The episode also explores how selfishness can be a major hurdle in maintaining healthy relationships.
Lee's practical advice includes seeking heart healing through honest conversations with Jesus, a practice he fondly calls 'porch time'. This episode isn't just for married couples; it offers valuable lessons for friendships too. Tune in to discover how adopting a covenant mindset can transform your relationships and bring lasting joy and fulfilment.
