Marriage on a Mission | Part 2

This episode is part two of the 'Marriage on a Mission' series from Calvary Tabernacle in Queen City, Texas. Hosts Brad and Linda, a married couple of 46 years, teach on persisting with passion and purpose in marriage. They begin by recapping part one's themes: Love's Label, Lifestyle, and Legacy. The core message is that Christian couples should remain passionate about their covenant, with purpose defined as bringing glory to God. They emphasize that success in marriage is intentional, not accidental, and requires both partners committed to the same vision. The hosts introduce the acronym PURSUIT, breaking down its first three letters: P for pursuit, defined as an active choice to desire your spouse's highest good; U for experience, covering spiritual practices like prayer and Bible study together; and R for resistance, addressing how to handle hardships. Brad and Linda share personal stories, such as Brad studying Linda's cues to know when she's unwell, and Linda surprising Brad with LSU-themed gifts. They discuss practical tips like setting aside 15 minutes daily to talk and avoiding 'I' statements that foster selfishness. The teaching includes scriptural references, such as 1 Peter 5:7 on casting anxieties. A significant segment involves two donkey parables: one about shaking off dirt (resilience) and another about dead donkeys causing internal destruction (holding onto past hurts). The episode concludes with a Q&A where congregation members share testimonies, like Rachel overcoming procrastination with her husband's help and Amy reflecting on the first five difficult years of marriage. The hosts offer resources like Gary Chapman's 'Five Love Languages' assessment and a personality color test.
