Our 9th Book is Coming! Kingdom Marriage: An Iconic Vision Giving God’s Sons and Daughters the Blueprint in Life, Love, Marriage and Family
Marriage is more than a union; it’s a Kingdom assignment. In a world where relationships are often shaped by fleeting emotions and cultural trends, Kingdom Marriages stand as a divine covenant, reflecting God’s purpose for His sons and daughters.
I’m beyond excited to introduce my ninth book, Kingdom Marriages: An Iconic Vision—a powerful compilation of articles from Iconic Marriages, now gathered in one place for deeper study and reflection.
What’s Inside?
This book is a comprehensive collection from our Iconic Kingdom Marriage eSeries, covering everything from:
✔️ Kingdom Laws & Biblical Principles – Understanding marriage through God’s divine order.
✔️ Kingdom Communication – How to build spirit-led conversations that strengthen relationships.
✔️ Parenting in the Kingdom – Raising children with faith, wisdom, and purpose. ✔️ Spiritual Warfare in Marriage – Recognizing and overcoming attacks against covenant relationships.
Each chapter is designed to equip couples with the wisdom, tools, and biblical foundations needed to thrive in marriage; not just survive.

Back to Basics | What Is a Kingdom Mindset?
I talk about the Kingdom of God, a lot. That’s because that is what Jesus preached often. And He reminded us that it is here now. We must Seek God first and I had to understand that this applied to me.
After losing my dad and brother this year, I felt lost, like a hole in my soul. God tended to my heart and reminded me He understood my pain and that our identity isn’t just in our Earthly time here but in the Kingdom as well. If I put faith in Jesus’s message and do what He said, then maybe I can see my family again someday.
What a joyful reminder that was for me!
With Iconic Marriages, we are not just building homes. We’re building altars. And that requires a Kingdom mindset, not just good intentions.
A Kingdom mindset means viewing marriage, parenting, leadership, and legacy through the lens of God’s design, not culture’s trends. It’s not about being perfect; it’s about being aligned. Right alignment is the righteousness that is a key glue to the Kingdom message. Without it, we won’t get the promises of God adding all things that we need.
🌍 What Is a Kingdom Mindset?
A Kingdom mindset is:
God-centered: Christ is the foundation, not just a moral influence.
Purpose-driven: Every role—spouse, parent, child—is part of a divine assignment.
Eternity-aware: Decisions are made with legacy and generational impact in mind.
Spirit-led: Love, discipline, and leadership flow from the fruit of the Spirit, not flesh or fear.
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” —Romans 12:2
💍 Kingdom Marriage
Marriage isn’t a contract, but it’s a covenant. A Kingdom marriage reflects:
Mutual submission (Ephesians 5:21)
Sacrificial love (Ephesians 5:25)
Honor and respect (1 Peter 3:7)
Spiritual partnership: Prayer, purpose, and legacy are shared—not siloed.
“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” —Ecclesiastes 4:12
🏡 Kingdom Family
Family is the first ministry. A Kingdom family:
Teaches identity
Models grace and truth
Protects spiritual atmosphere
Builds legacy
“Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.” —Proverbs 22:6
I am not worried about where my brother is because he learned about Christ just like I did. I was there when he and our sister, twins, were baptized. We grew up listening and learning about Jesus at the same church that his funeral was at and his oldest is named Christian. I believe in my deepest parts of my soul I will see him again someday because of the same hope in Christ that cares for his widow and three kids now.

MRS. Pinky Thoughts
At my brother’s turn during my dad’s funeral, he was super nervous of what he would say. How could we encompass our father into a few words? All of us had our chance to say something and he went up. He was asking us what we would say and we each decided last minute.
My late brother, only a few days before he also passed, said:
“Heaven is the goal.” - SGT Ronnie Michael Pulley USMC
But I want to add on top of my brother’s sentiment.
Heaven is the goal. He was absolutely right.
Jesus, however, told us the Kingdom of God is here.
When Jesus said, “The Kingdom of God is here,” He wasn’t pointing to a physical throne or distant future. He was announcing that Heaven’s authority, presence, and power had broken into Earth through Him. It meant that healing, restoration, justice, and divine order were now accessible; not just someday, but right now.
The Kingdom is wherever God reigns, and that reign begins in hearts surrendered to Him. Jesus was saying: You don’t have to wait for Heaven to experience God’s rule. It’s already moving among you—transforming lives, families, and legacies.
I can only hope to go to heaven someday to see my family again and to meet Jesus. But know this, you can experience the Kingdom now; in your life, in your family, and in your marriage.
Let us continue to build something, Iconic. - Mrs. Pinky
