Seek First: The Foundation of a Lasting Marriage | Pastor Charlie and Jill Whitlow

Strong marriages don’t just last they thrive. But that kind of marriage doesn’t happen by accident. It’s built through intentional spiritual intimacy, unity, and learning how to handle conflict God’s way. In this practical and hope-filled message, Pastor Charlie Whitlow shares two life-changing commitments that help marriages survive and flourish: seek the Lord together and keep your fights clean. Rooted in the Gospel of Mark 10:6–9, the Gospel of Matthew 6:33, the Epistle of James 1:19–20, and the Epistle to the Ephesians 4:26–29, this message reminds us that marriage was God’s idea. When two people become one, unity becomes the goal—and spiritual connection becomes the priority. 📖 In this message, you’ll learn: Why seeking God together strengthens spiritual and emotional intimacy The powerful impact of praying together as a couple What does it truly mean to be "quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry"? Six practical rules for fighting fair and keeping conflict clean Why unresolved anger creates distance—and how to close the gap before it grows How healthy couples fight not to win the argument, but to win the relationship You’ll also be challenged with a simple but meaningful relational check-up you can do this week to grow closer and strengthen your connection. Pastor Charlie reminds us that good marriages aren’t conflict-free—they’re committed to resolving conflict in a way that builds unity. The goal isn’t winning the fight; it’s walking away closer than when it began. This message is for anyone single, married, engaged, separated, or hanging on by a thread who wants a relationship that reflects God’s heart for unity, grace, and lasting love. 👉 Next Steps: If this message encouraged you, consider subscribing, sharing it with someone you care about, or joining us this Sunday at Community Church.
