“Healthy marriages can serve as a strong tower against Satan’s enticements, and to the degree that we’re unwilling to do the work that it takes to cultivate that kind of marriage, to the degree we withhold from our spouses the things that God says we owe them, like love, nourishment, care, respect, submission, and even intimacy, there’s something out of joint with the relationship.”
-Pastor Adriel Sanchez
