Having the desire to build a godly marriage but not knowing how. It wasn’t until the Holy Spirit intervened and began working on my heart, that I realised God can use me (and you) to build a marriage that honours Him even if your husband is an unbeliever or a new believer. God can transform your marriage, and He can use you to draw your husband closer to Him, because it is God’s will for every marriage to bring glory and honour to Him.
