In Part 2 of the Marriage Seminar, Apostle Alfred Williams breaks marriage down with striking clarity: marriage is a partnership — a joint enterprise “to the exclusion of all others”, rooted in God’s design that a man leaves father and mother and cleaves to his wife (Genesis 2:24; Matthew 19:4–6). He explains how partnership principles illuminate the Biblical covenant: decisions carry weight, trust must be guarded, and parents (and third parties) must never be allowed to intrude into the oneness God created. He anchors the seriousness of the covenant in Malachi 2:14–16, teaching that God Himself is witness, that husband and wife are made one in flesh and spirit (Malachi 2:15), and that the Lord hates divorce — so wisdom must lead both courtship and commitment. Unity is expressed in shared responsibility — love, honour, provision, raising children, and handling finances with openness and integrity. Apostle emphasises that love is given, not demanded, and that genuine marriage means sharing profits and losses, pains and victories, without hidden agendas. He unpacks Ephesians 5:21–33 with balance and conviction: mutual submission in reverence to Christ, wives submitting within the boundaries of obedience to Christ, and husbands carrying the heavier call — to love as Christ loved the church, to give themselves sacrificially, to nurture holiness, and to care for their wives as their own bodies (Ephesians 5:25–30).

In Part 1 of the Marriage Seminar at Christ Faith Tabernacle, Apostle Alfred Williams reminds the whole church that marriage teaching isn’t only for “those about to wed” — it’s for every believer, because strong families build a strong church. Through the timeless hymn “God Give Us Christian Homes”, he paints a clear picture of what a godly home should look like: a home where the Bible is loved and taught, where God’s will is sought, and where children are led to know Christ. With a sober but loving urgency, he repeats a key truth: you only have one life and it has no duplicate — so choose wisely, seek counsel, and aim for a marriage you can genuinely enjoy, as Scripture says: “Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love…” (Ecclesiastes 9:9). Grounding everything in Scripture, he traces marriage back to God’s design (Genesis 2:18–25; Genesis 1:26–28): a covenant union between a man and a woman, with purpose, fruitfulness, and responsibility — not pressure, confusion, or regret. He teaches that a spouse is meant to be a suitable helper (Genesis 2:18), that marriage is a covenant witnessed by God (Malachi 2:14), and that unity is an obligation that must be guarded (Matthew 19:3–6). This seminar lays the foundation for partnership, raising children in security, and honouring marriage for the good of society — while warning against casual choices that can lead to lifelong pain. Let this episode steady your heart and sharpen your discernment: before you say “I do”, let heaven settle your “yes” — and may your home become the kind of altar that burns, glows, and lights the way for generations.
