My Wedding Day Epiphany: Unveiling the Miracle of Marriage #shorts

Lesson Transcript

Is an epiphany from my wedding day as I thought about for years I've tried to learn about marriage: is it possible to have a marriage that's not an institution or a war zone?

But God's mysteries are not riddles to be solved, but wonders to participate in. When we obey His simple commands, we eventually find ourselves in awe being part of a miracle.
