In our society today, many are attempting to redefine marriage to accommodate their own lifestyles. But marriage is not merely a human idea—it was God’s invention. And if it was His idea, He must also have something to say about how to live our married lives. In his three-part series Crafted: Marriage God’s Way, Dr. Michael Youssef reveals the three foundations that can make or break a marriage. Learn what they are and discover the path to a fulfilled, vibrant relationship with your spouse.

In this second message of Crafted: Marriage God’s Way, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims a hard but holy truth: forgiveness in marriage is not optional—it is commanded. With bold clarity, he draws from Matthew 18:21–22 to declare that true forgiveness, like God’s forgiveness, keeps no record of wrongs. This episode unpacks the anatomy of Biblical forgiveness: attacking small offenses before they become destructive, arresting unholy thoughts that breed bitterness, and attaining one’s true identity in Christ. Dr. Youssef warns against the satanic lie that repentance is unnecessary and urges believers to fight unforgiveness as spiritual warfare. For every husband and wife, this is not just a call to forgive—but to intercede, repent, and reflect the Gospel in their covenant.
