What is marriage? What is love?

What if everything you believed about love and marriage was wrong?

In this episode of the Mended Podcast, we dive deep into God’s original design for marriage—not the watered-down, cultural version that often leads to resentment, disconnection, and even divorce.

We explore the biblical foundation of marriage, the roles of husbands and wives, and why love is NOT a feeling, but a choice. If you’ve ever felt like your marriage is drifting apart, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a roadmap to build a stronger, Christ-centered relationship.
