Marriage, Identity, and Trust in God’s Plan (Ephesians 5:31)
In Ephesians 5:31, it says:
“For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one.”
Joyce emphasizes an often-overlooked point: “becoming one” is a process that takes time. Leaving behind old habits and baggage can be challenging, but it’s a vital part of building a godly marriage.
Joyce candidly shares her own story:
Her advice? Leave the baggage behind. Don’t make your current partner pay for someone else’s mistakes. If you’re afraid of getting hurt again, place your trust in God rather than in human expectations.

Practical Wisdom from Ephesians 6:1-9
Paul’s letter flows naturally from marriage advice into parenting and relationships. It’s a reminder that these principles are interconnected. Joyce points out that God’s instructions apply to every area of life — marriage, family, work, and beyond.

- How can I apply these teachings in my own relationships?
- What baggage do I need to leave behind to experience the fullness of God’s love?
Remember, trusting God and following His principles leads to a life of peace, joy, and spiritual growth. Stay tuned as Joyce continues to unpack the life-changing truths in Ephesians.
