Was Our Marriage Arranged? Jan 08, 2025

We answer YOUR QUESTIONS about courting and marriage--like, was our marriage arranged? In this episode, we’re diving deep into the topic of relationships—how we date, court, and ultimately choose a spouse. We share our personal stories, reflect on the courtship model Jinger grew up with, and explore what the Bible has to say about how we should approach relationships.

We also ask a big question—are arranged marriages better than the Western dating system? We take a look at cultures like India, where parents often play a significant role in choosing a spouse, and we discuss whether involving family more intentionally might lead to stronger marriages.

Join us as we wrestle through these questions, challenge assumptions, and examine what God’s Word says about love, marriage, and honoring Him in our relationships. Whether you’re single, dating, or married, we hope this conversation encourages you to think biblically about how we pursue love and commitment.
