And unfortunately, it is almost completely absent in most Christian marriages.”ĭuring this seminar at the Cove, married couples can learn how to make deep connections with their spouses, build marriages that last, and explore biblical principles designed for the family. That spiritual component is completely absent in secular marriage. “As you get closer to God, you grow closer to one another. To reveal who He is, His holiness, faithfulness, giving and generosity,” Ingram explained. “God’s ultimate design for marriage is like everything else He’s designed – for His glory. The root for oneness cannot be found in the world – the root to oneness begins with God.”Īnother thing he says married couples should remember is that the greatest thing that can ever be done for a marriage is walking with God.

God created marriage and made you for oneness. “The whole world will tell you that there’s someone out there and they look a certain way, and own certain things, and they’ll provide certain things. “But understanding God’s dream for marriage and actually living it are two very different things. “God has a dream for marriage and He plants it in our heart,” says Ingram. Influence of a secular world to do marriage their way rather than God’s way.Misunderstanding of God’s design for marriage.Lack of clarity on roles and responsibilities.He relates it to three of the many key problem areas in Christian marriages: He says most people have dreams about marriage that represent our ultimate vision of what marriage will be like, yet so few of us realize those dreams. Now, Ingram is bringing that same hope and confidence to married couples at the Cove November 12-14 when he leads a seminar titled House or Home?: Four Essentials for Your Marriage.Īs a pastor, Ingram has seen the ups and downs of many marriages.

“His biography, Just As I Am, had a big impact on me as a pastor when God was growing things beyond my capacity to lead it. He enjoys coming back to speak at a place who bears the name of a man who encouraged him during his early pastoral years.

“I was asked to speak at The Cove seven or eight years ago and have enjoyed a great relationship since,” he said.

For nearly a decade, Chip Ingram has been bringing the truths of God’s Word to the Billy Graham Training Center at the Cove.
