Building A Marriage That Lasts


Getting married is one thing; staying married is another.  Let’s face it: marriage is hard.  It’s the union of two naturally sinful people with flaws coming together to do life and the will of God.

Our guest speaker, Sheri-Lynne states that the later years in marriage can be the best years, but it takes work to get there! Tune into today’s episode as she shares her experience and lessons learned after 28 years of marriage.
