Israel describes ingredients that should be in place to experience God’s best regarding marriage.

Courtship: Is It Biblical?

Betrothal: Is It Practical?
What is Biblical betrothal and how can it work today? Is it similar to arranged marriage? Are young people forced to marry against their will? Israel describes the Biblical principles behind betrothal and dispels many of the myths.

The Betrothal Stage
This message covers the stage between a commitment to marriage and the actual wedding. Israel gives a practical message that will help prepare a young couple for what they will experience in the months leading up to, and immediately following, the wedding day.

The Divine Romance (Christ and the Bride)
This message is an allegory, given by Israel Wayne, to help explain how the best explanation for betrothal is not in an Old Testament narrative, but is rather embodied in the greatest love story of all time – that of Christ and the Bride. This fascinating story will open your eyes to a whole new paradigm related to love, romance, and relationships.
