The Key to A Great MarriagePsalm 127:1

Compiled and Presented by:Dave Stewart

19 January, 2014www.churchofchristmiranda.com

Synopsis: The Psalmist teaches us that the key to a great marriage is Jehovah. We must seek after His wisdom in our marriage, the wisdom from above to build our marriages. The key question is whether, once we hear the wisdom of God will we be like the wise man and do it?

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
