#132 - Matt Chandler // Marriage Isn't Just a Relationship—It's a Divine Assignment

We examine the biblical principles for cultivating a thriving marriage as part of our week-long series on what men were created to cultivate. Scripture clearly shows that finding a wife brings divine favor, contradicting cultural trends that encourage delaying marriage until financial stability is achieved.

• Proverbs 18:22 describes finding a wife as "a good thing" that brings favor from the Lord
• A good wife who fears the Lord is more precious than jewels (Proverbs 31)
• Young men should seek marriage with godly women rather than waiting until they're completely established
• Husbands should cultivate marriages through sacrificial love that creates opportunities for wives to thrive
• Men are responsible for setting the spiritual direction and climate of their homes
• Physical care means providing for your family's needs through diligent work
• This cultivation framework includes: cultivating self, brotherhood, marriage, and one more area (to be discussed)

If you want to help equip other men for the fight, share this podcast around and leave us a five-star rating and review.
