Two Cultures, One Covenant: Why Intercultural Marriages Struggle
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this opening episode of our February series, Two Cultures, One Covenant, we begin an honest and faith-filled conversation about intercultural marriages—especially Filipino-American relationships.
Love may bring two people together, but culture often reveals the gaps.
Different communication styles.
Different family expectations.
Different ways of handling conflict.
What feels personal is often cultural—and without understanding, couples can feel misunderstood, unseen, and disconnected.
Anchored in Mark 10:9 —
“Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
This episode reframes cultural difference not as a weakness, but as an invitation for deeper understanding, humility, and grace under God’s covenant design for marriage.
If you are:
- in an intercultural or interracial marriage
- navigating communication struggles
- feeling stuck in recurring misunderstandings
- or longing to build a Christ-centered marriage that thrives
This series is for you.
