More Than Just a Wedding | What Did God Intend Marriage to Be? | EPISODE 7

What does God's design for marriage really look like? In this episode of RE-PAIR, we sit down with Manoj and Lincy, who have been married for 22 years, to explore what it means to build a marriage that reflects God. From understanding marriage as a garden that needs to be nurtured to learning how our relationships can point people towards Jesus, this conversation goes beyond simply finding the right person. We talk about the importance of character, spiritual maturity, and creating a relationship where both people continue to grow in God. We also touch on dating, boundaries, and the role of community in preparing us for marriage. But what does it look like to hold on to each other when life doesn't go as planned? Manoj and Lincy share a deeply personal part of their journey, navigating the loss of their daughter Zoay and walking through grief together. Their story offers a glimpse into the beauty, commitment, and faith that marriage calls for, even in the hardest seasons. Whether you're single, dating, or married, this conversation invites you to look beyond what marriage can offer you and consider how your marriage can honour God and reflect His love.
