Summary
We are entering into a time where the weight and gravity of spiritual blindness in marriage is increasing.Many spouses are quietly grieving the life, covenant, and intimacy they once had… while simultaneously learning how to maintain the appearance of a functioning marriage.An external adornment is created to hide an internal condition.A public image replaces consecration.Performance replaces obedience.Narratives replace repentance.But the Spirit of God is confronting this in the church today.In this teaching, Derek walks through the biblical reality that many marriages are not failing because God has abandoned them — they are suffering because spouses are unwilling to be taught by Him.
