The Cost and Covering of a Covenant | Pastors David & Nicole Crank

Marriage is a covenant, a sacred promise before God to stay faithful and united. Pastor David and Nicole share their personal relationship stories and explain the importance of a covenant. A contract says: if you fail… I’m out! But a covenant says: I’ll still be there for you! Covenant love will cost you a lot, but it pays way better than you can imagine! Lift up… don’t lecture down. Kindness can rebuild what criticism crushes. Don’t win the argument and lose the marriage. Covenant means not looking for an exit when life gets uncomfortable.
