About Marriage - Part 6
IntroductionWelcome to another episode of the Teachable Woman Podcast with Reverends Michele Owes and Diana P. Cherry, teachers of good things. In this episode of the About Marriage series, the conversation turns to a subject that is often misunderstood: submission in marriage.Using Ephesians 5:21—“Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God”—Rev. Michele and Rev. Diana explore what biblical submission really means and how it can create protection, peace, respect, and unity within marriage. They also discuss the importance of communication, premarital counseling, recognizing potential irritants before marriage, allowing God to work in a spouse's life, and learning to pursue what is right rather than who is right.With humor, personal stories, biblical principles, and practical marriage wisdom, this episode encourages couples to examine themselves, honor one another, seek godly counsel, and give God room to work.Show Note 1: Understanding Biblical SubmissionSubmission is often viewed negatively, especially when it is understood as one person controlling or dominating another. Rev. Michele explains that biblical submission is not about being “bossed around” or living under someone's thumb. Ephesians 5:21 calls believers to submit to one another in the fear of God.The discussion reframes submission as a willingness to be under appropriate protection and to consider the needs and requests of one's spouse. Marriage requires two people who are willing to put God's Word over their personal preferences, attitudes, and reactions.Submission means asking: What does God require of me? What does my spouse need from me? What can I do differently so that our home can be more peaceful?When both husband and wife submit themselves to God and to one another, the goal is not control—it is peace, order, protection, and mutual consideration.Show Note 2: The Protection of a Godly HusbandRev. Michele shares a deeply personal reflection about the protection she experienced during her marriage and how much she misses it following the death of her husband. She describes protection not simply as physical protection, but also as the protection that comes through prayer, presence, wisdom, and attention to the details of everyday life.Rev. Diana shares a similar experience, emphasizing the comfort of knowing that her husband prayed for her and their family.The conversation highlights an important aspect of marriage: sometimes protection comes through small, almost invisible acts. Rev. Michele recalls how her husband could communicate with her through something as subtle as a look or a slight shake of his head. She understood that he was telling her it was time to end a conversation with one of their young adult children.Rather than publicly correcting or embarrassing her, he quietly helped her recognize when to step back.This becomes a beautiful example of mutual understanding and submission—a husband providing loving guidance and a wife recognizing and responding to it.Show Note 3: Respect, Love, and the Power of Our WordsRev. Michele and Rev. Diana emphasize that respect and love are essential to a healthy marriage. They caution couples against name-calling, cursing, disrespectful tones, eye-rolling, and other behaviors that can gradually damage the relationship.Rev. Michele compares hurtful words to toothpaste squeezed from a tube: once the toothpaste is out, you can put some of it back, but you cannot get all of it back.The words spoken in marriage matter.The hosts explain that respect gives love longevity. A wife is instructed to reverence, or respect, her husband, while a husband is instructed to love his wife. They also point out that love and respect often reinforce each other. When a wife feels genuinely loved and treated with kindness, she is more likely to respond positively.The episode encourages both spouses to take responsibility for their own part rather than demanding that the other person change first.You cannot control your spouse, but you can control your own words, attitude, behavior, and response.Show Note 4: You Cannot Change Your Spouse—But You Can Change YourselfOne of the central lessons of this episode is that husbands and wives cannot remake each other into the person they believe they need.Rev. Michele reminds listeners that what we think we need in a spouse may not actually be what we need. Instead, couples must allow God to work in both people.This requires patience and humility.Rather than trying to fix, mold, or control a husband or wife, each person should ask God to work within them. Personal change can influence the atmosphere of the marriage and can

The hosts remind women that they don't have to chase what God has ordained to be found.They discuss loving, respecting, and appreciating one's spouse, emphasizing that respect gives love longevity. They also use Jesus turning water into wine as a picture of how God can transform a marriage that feels “watered down.”Prayer, Scripture, patience, and thoughtful communication can help couples navigate difficult seasons.Key takeaway: Let God strengthen what feels weak and remember the value of the person you married.3. Before You Say “I Do”IntroductionMarriage begins long before the wedding day. In this episode, Rev. Michele Owes and Rev. Diana P.

Michele reassured her husband that she hadn't married him for the house, cars, or lifestyle. If they had only a small home and each other, she would still be happy.Her words lifted pressure from her husband and demonstrated that people are more valuable than possessions.The episode encourages couples to make their relationship the priority and view material things as tools—not the foundation of marriage.Key takeaway: Your spouse should know they are more valuable to you than anything you own.6.

Diana discuss how couples can learn to grow together.SummaryThe hosts share how differently they were raised and how those experiences shaped their communication styles.

About Marriage Part 4
Teachable Woman PodcastReverends Michele Owes and Diana P. CherryAbout Marriage - Part 4IntroductionWelcome to another episode of the Teachable Woman Podcast with Reverends Michele Owes and Diana Cherry, Teachers of Good Things. In Part 4 of their conversation about marriage, they continue exploring what couples need to know before and during marriage. Drawing from Scripture, personal experience, ministry, and years of marriage counseling and enrichment, they remind listeners that marriage is an honorable institution established by God—and one that requires intentional investment.The conversation centers on the first miracle Jesus performed at the wedding in Cana: turning water into wine. The reverends use this powerful picture to encourage married couples that God can take ordinary, difficult, or seemingly insignificant circumstances and transform them when couples seek Him, follow His Word, and allow Him to work in their relationship.Show Notes1. Jesus' First Miracle Happened at a WeddingReverend Michele opens by highlighting the significance of Jesus' first miracle taking place at a wedding feast. When the wine ran out, Jesus transformed ordinary water into something described as the best wine.The message for married couples is encouraging: God can transform what seems ordinary, depleted, or disappointing into something beautiful. A marriage may go through seasons when the excitement seems to fade or circumstances become difficult, but couples should remember that God is able to bring renewal.Reverend Diana agrees that Jesus' presence at the wedding demonstrates how seriously God regards marriage. If Jesus could intervene in what appeared to be a relatively small problem at a wedding, He can also intervene in the difficulties couples face today.The lesson is to seek God's presence and trust Him even with the everyday challenges of marriage.2. "Do Whatever He Says"The story of Cana also highlights Mary's instruction to the servants: do whatever Jesus tells you to do.The reverends connect this instruction directly to marriage. Couples can sometimes try to skip foundational steps or pursue an idealized picture of marriage based on television, magazines, or cultural expectations. But a strong marriage requires following God's instructions rather than simply following personal ideas.Reverend Michele emphasizes that couples should not limit God to what they consider "big" problems. Scripture teaches believers to cast their cares upon Him because He cares for them. God is concerned about every part of our lives, including marriage.Even when couples do not feel ready, capable, or willing to take the next step, they can begin the process and trust God to work through their obedience.3. Marriage Is Honorable—and It Requires PreparationHebrews 13:4 describes marriage as honorable. Reverend Michele explains that marriage is valuable and costly, requiring significant investment before and after the wedding day.Reverend Diana stresses the importance of premarital counseling and preparation. Two imperfect people are coming together and being asked to become one. Counseling cannot guarantee a problem-free marriage, but it can equip couples with tools for handling inevitable challenges.She recalls how inadequate brief premarital conversations can be compared with intentional preparation. Couples need opportunities to examine expectations, personalities, strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas of conflict.The reverends also encourage couples to revisit the things they appreciated about one another before marriage. Qualities that once seemed charming can sometimes become sources of irritation once two people are living closely together. Preparation helps couples understand that marriage is work—but work that is worthwhile because they are doing it together.4. Invest in Your MarriageOne of the strongest practical messages of the episode is the importance of continuing to invest in marriage after the wedding.Reverend Michele encourages married couples to attend:Marriage enrichment meetings at churchMarriage retreatsOngoing marriage classesPremarital counseling before saying "I do"Couples are encouraged to treat these opportunities as priorities rather than optional activities. The reverends compare investing in marriage with investing in other areas of life: couples can spend considerable time and energy managing financial investments while neglecting the marriage God entrusted to them.Reverend Michele also shares honestly about how God had to renew her thinking during marriage. She recalls times when she thought it might be easier to return to living independently. Instead, God showed her that t

About Marriage-Part 3
Teachable Woman PodcastAbout Marriage – Part 3Hosts: Rev. Michele Owes and Tamara JohnsonIntroductionWelcome back to the Teachable Woman Podcast, where we are committed to being “Teachers of Good Things” and learning how to apply God’s Word to everyday life. In this episode, Rev. Michele Owes is joined again by Tamara Johnson of Tam I Am for another honest and practical conversation about marriage.Building on their previous discussion about leadership, followership, communication, and the baggage we bring into marriage, this episode takes a deeper look at what it means to build a marriage God’s way. Through Scripture, personal experiences, humor, and transparency, Michele and Tamara explore the beauty of becoming one, the importance of prayer, grace, commitment, wise communication, and creating a peaceful home.The conversation reminds us that marriage is not about changing our spouse into the person we want them to be. It is about allowing God to work on us while trusting Him to work on our spouse.Podcast Notes1. Do Whatever He Tells You to DoThe conversation begins with Jesus’ first miracle at the wedding in Cana. Michele points out an important detail that can easily be overlooked: Mary told the servants, “Do whatever He tells you to do.” The miracle happened after they followed Jesus’ instructions. Michele applies that same principle to marriage. We can have our own ideas about how our spouse should behave, how the home should operate, and how we should be treated, but the question is whether we are willing to follow what God says about marriage. Both husbands and wives have responsibilities, and neither spouse gets to simply demand that the other change.2. God Works on You, Not Your Spouse for YouOne of the strongest lessons in the episode is the reminder that prayer is not a tool for getting God to fix our spouse. Michele and Tamara share that they have gone into their prayer closets complaining about their husbands, only to come away with a list of things God wanted them to work on. God is interested in transforming each person individually. Prayer accomplishes far more than fussing, fighting, or arguing because it addresses the source of the problem rather than simply patching over the symptoms. Marriage requires humility enough to ask, “Lord, what do You want to change in me?”3. Marriage Becomes One Through the JourneyMichele describes marriage as a “mystical union” and emphasizes that becoming one does not happen overnight. Saying “I do” begins the journey, but true oneness develops through the years. Couples become one as they overcome obstacles, walk through difficult seasons together, encourage one another, and learn how to remain committed during trials. Tamara adds that being “on one accord” does not mean agreeing about everything. Husbands and wives have different personalities, preferences, strengths, and opinions. Being on one accord means remembering that you are on the same team and that disagreement does not automatically threaten the covenant.4. Marriage Is a Commitment to an Imperfect PersonThe hosts speak candidly about the reality that marriage is a choice to live with and love an imperfect person. We often expect our spouse to automatically know what we want, how we want to be treated, and how we expect the household to function. But neither spouse can know everything about the other at the beginning of the marriage. Couples learn one another over time. Michele shares a humorous story about trying to sleep in another room when she was upset with her husband, only to have him follow her from room to room because he refused to allow separation to become a pattern. His message was simple: they were in it together.5. Marriage Is Valuable, and Grace MattersHebrews 13:4 is highlighted as a reminder that marriage is honorable, valuable, esteemed, and precious. Tamara shares one of the things she loves most about her marriage: the grace they extend to one another. They do not keep score over who did more. There are seasons when one spouse may have to carry more of the financial, household, parenting, or other responsibilities. Rather than keeping a running tally, they work together as partners. Tamara connects this to the biblical instruction to bear with one another in love, recognizing that her husband is not only her husband but also her brother in Christ. Grace allows spouses to serve one another without turning marriage into a competition.6. Protect the Peace of Your HomeMichele shares that during her 33 years of marriage, her children never heard her and her husband yelling or arguing with one another. They ha

The Approach - Part 2
The Teachable Woman PodcastThe Approach: Character Before CostIntroductionWelcome back to the Teachable Woman Podcast, where Reverend Michele Owes and Reverend Diana P. Cherry continue their commitment to being “Teachers of Good Things.” Although the two hosts are recording from different locations in this episode, they emphasize that they remain united in their attitudes, actions, hearts, and desire to teach women and men according to biblical principles.Building on their previous conversation about “The Approach,” the hosts address a troubling dating expectation they have heard from young adults: the idea that a man should pay for a woman’s hair, nails, clothing, childcare, or other personal expenses before he can simply meet her for a cup of coffee. They also discuss the growing tendency to evaluate potential relationships according to income, real estate, investments, and financial status rather than character, conduct, and commitment.With honesty, love, humor, personal experience, and biblical instruction, Michele and Diana challenge listeners to examine their expectations, take responsibility for themselves, respect others, and trust God rather than attempting to obtain blessings through another person.1. Are We Looking for Character or What Someone Can Buy?The conversation begins with the hosts addressing the expectation that a man should finance a woman’s preparation before a first meeting. Hair, nails, clothing, childcare, and other expenses should not become the price of admission for someone simply wanting to get to know you.The hosts question the heart behind such expectations. Are we interested in the person, or are we interested in what the person can provide?Diana emphasizes that a woman should never see herself as something that can be purchased. Michele points listeners back toward evaluating character, conduct, and commitment rather than financial status.2. A Woman Should Know Her WorthDiana shares personal experiences from her younger years and explains that she has always valued independence and responsibility. She recalls an occasion when her future husband left money to pay an electric bill he had seen in her home. Rather than accepting the money, she told him she was capable of paying her own bill.Her point is not that people should never help one another. Instead, she challenges the mindset of expecting someone else to carry responsibilities that belong to us.The hosts remind women that their value does not come from what a man can purchase for them. They point to the biblical picture of a woman whose “price is far above rubies” and challenge women not to compromise their dignity for material benefits.3. The Wise Woman Builds—She Doesn't Tear DownMichele connects the discussion to Proverbs and the biblical principle that a wise woman builds her house while a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.The hosts explain that demanding that someone else finance your appearance, childcare, or personal needs before even getting to know you can destroy an opportunity before it begins.They encourage women to take care of themselves. Personal grooming, appearance, responsibilities, and everyday needs should not automatically become another person's obligation.The larger lesson is self-responsibility. A woman should not enter a relationship expecting another person to do the work she is capable of doing herself.4. What Are We Teaching the Next Generation?The conversation expands beyond dating and into parenting.Diana challenges mothers and fathers to teach their children biblical standards rather than allowing the culture to establish their values. She encourages parents to teach their sons how to recognize unhealthy expectations and to understand that manipulation and exploitation are not godly.She also speaks about observing children and noticing attitudes, behavior, clothing, and the ways children respond to their parents. The hosts stress that teaching begins early.Their message is clear: parents cannot wait until their children become adults to teach them values.Christian parents have a responsibility to teach children that following God may require them to be different from the culture around them.5. Christians Are Called to Be DistinctiveDiana strongly emphasizes that Christians are supposed to be different from the world—not because they are better than other people, but because they belong to God.She challenges listeners to examine whether the church has become too comfortable adopting the world's thinking, behavior, standards, and priorities.The hosts call for a return to biblical truth, emphasizing that sin is still sin, righteousness is still righteousness,

What To Do Before You Say I Do Part 3
Episode IntroductionMarriage is one of God's greatest gifts, but it's also one of life's greatest commitments. In Part 3 of What To Do Before You Say "I Do," Rev. Michele Owes and Rev. Diana P. Cherry continue their powerful conversation on preparing for marriage God's way. They discuss why marriage requires intentional preparation, humility, teamwork, and unwavering dependence on God. Whether you're single, engaged, newly married, or celebrating decades together, this episode offers practical wisdom to help build a healthy, Christ-centered marriage.7 Show Notes1. Marriage Is a Lifetime CommitmentMarriage is more than a wedding ceremony—it's a lifelong covenant. The hosts compare marriage to an institution that requires commitment, endurance, and learning how to thrive through every season rather than looking for an escape.2. Preparation Matters More Than the WeddingChoosing the right venue, dress, or rings is secondary to preparing your heart. Spiritual, emotional, and practical preparation before marriage creates a stronger foundation for lasting success.3. Healthy Marriages Require Intentional WorkEvery couple should discuss expectations before saying "I do," including communication, household responsibilities, finances, and daily life. There is no one-size-fits-all marriage—each couple must work together to create what works best for them.4. Let God Lead Every ConflictDisagreements are inevitable, but conflict doesn't have to become division. Instead of proving who's right, couples are encouraged to seek God's best answer together through prayer, humility, and open communication.5. Humility Strengthens RelationshipsOne of the strongest habits in marriage is being willing to admit when you're wrong. Genuine apologies, forgiveness, and a teachable spirit create an environment where love and trust can flourish.6. Different Perspectives Can Become Greater WisdomA conflict of opinion is not a sign of failure. Each spouse brings unique experiences and perspectives that, when submitted to God, can produce wiser decisions and stronger unity.7. Marriage Should Be a Place of Joy and FulfillmentGod designed marriage to be a refuge—a place of love, laughter, companionship, and mutual growth. Through faithful stewardship, couples can experience the fulfillment God intended while building a family that honors Him.Episode SummaryIn this episode, Rev. Michele Owes and Rev. Diana P. Cherry emphasize that successful marriages are built long before the wedding day. They encourage listeners to prepare spiritually, communicate honestly, embrace humility, and invite God into every aspect of their relationship. Rather than avoiding disagreements, couples should view differences as opportunities to seek God's wisdom together. The hosts remind listeners that marriage is not for the faint of heart, but with commitment, prayer, grace, and intentional stewardship, it can become one of life's greatest sources of joy, peace, and fulfillment. Whether you're considering marriage or already walking through it, this episode offers timeless biblical principles to help you build a relationship that reflects God's love.

What To Do Before You Say I Do Part 2
Marriage: A Divine Institution, Not Just a CeremonyIntroductionWhat does marriage truly mean from a biblical perspective? In this episode, Mrs. Cherry and Reverend Owes present a thoughtful definition of marriage that has been refined over many years of teaching. They explain why marriage is far more than a legal agreement or emotional commitment—it's a divine institution established by God. Together, they explore the importance of spiritual preparation, covenant commitment, unconditional love, and the lifelong journey of two imperfect people learning to honor God through marriage.Show Notes1. Marriage Is God's Divine InstitutionThe conversation begins with a detailed biblical definition of marriage. Marriage is described as an institution created by God—not by culture or society—and therefore God's design and standards define its purpose. The speakers emphasize that marriage is sacred and should never be approached casually.2. The Importance of Choice and CovenantMarriage is presented as a voluntary decision made by two rational, free moral agents who choose to enter into a covenant relationship. The discussion highlights that while no one is required to marry, those who do are making an unconditional lifetime commitment before God, not merely to another person.3. Committing to an Imperfect PersonOne of the episode's central themes is accepting that every husband and wife enters marriage as an imperfect human being. Lasting marriages require grace, forgiveness, patience, and unconditional love because both spouses will have weaknesses and shortcomings throughout life.4. "Leave and Cleave": Understanding Biblical UnityDrawing from Genesis, the hosts explain the biblical principle of leaving one's family of origin and cleaving to one's spouse. They compare this bond to being "super glued" together, illustrating why separation and divorce are often emotionally painful and deeply impactful, especially when children and extended families are involved.5. Why Preparation Matters Before Saying "I Do"The hosts encourage listeners not to rush into marriage. Just as professionals prepare extensively for their careers, couples should invest time in premarital counseling, biblical study, financial discussions, self-examination, and pastoral guidance before entering into marriage.6. God Is Essential for a Strong MarriageThe episode stresses that two imperfect people cannot sustain a healthy marriage without God at the center. A personal relationship with Jesus Christ, regular prayer, and reliance on biblical wisdom provide the foundation for navigating life's inevitable challenges together.7. Building a Marriage That LastsThe conversation concludes by encouraging couples to address hidden issues, communicate honestly, understand their God-given roles, and prepare intentionally before marriage. The hosts remind listeners that while no marriage is perfect, one built on Christ has the greatest opportunity to flourish. The episode closes with a preview of the next discussion, introducing the idea of marriage as an "institution" in an even deeper sense.SummaryThis episode offers a comprehensive biblical perspective on marriage as a sacred covenant established by God. Mrs. Cherry and Reverend Oates encourage listeners to approach marriage thoughtfully, recognizing it as a lifelong commitment between two imperfect people who depend on God's guidance. Through practical wisdom, scriptural principles, and personal insight, they remind couples that lasting marriages are built through preparation, honesty, unconditional love, and faithful obedience to God's design.
