Kingdom Marriages: An Iconic Vision
At Iconic Marriages, our vision goes far beyond just fostering happy unions. We’re building a movement centered on Kingdom principles, marriages that reflect the eternal truths of God’s Kingdom as outlined in Matthew 6:33: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” By seeking God’s Kingdom in our marriages, we believe couples can transform not only their own lives but also their families, communities, and even society at large.
What Is Iconic Marriages About?
At its core, Iconic Marriages exists to champion God-centered unions that exemplify His love, grace, and purpose. Our mission is to guide couples toward thriving marriages based on biblical laws and principles, equipping them to rear healthy children and leave a Godly legacy for generations to come. In a world consumed by fleeting trends and divided ideologies, we’re offering a timeless vision rooted in faith.
We believe Kingdom marriages can:
Transcend normal social, political, and economic divides.
Serve as a foundation for stronger households and communities.
Illuminate God’s love in ways that impact the world around us.
Our goal is to inspire couples to model their marriages after the eternal Kingdom, ensuring a Christ-centered legacy that blesses not only their families but also their communities.
Kingdom Marriages: Transforming Households and Communities
A Kingdom marriage isn’t just a private commitment—it’s a public testimony to God’s glory. When two individuals unite under God’s covenant, their influence extends far beyond their home. Let’s explore the ripple effects:
Building Stronger Households
Scriptural Foundation: Deuteronomy 6:6-7 instructs parents to teach God’s commandments to their children, integrating faith into every aspect of family life. A Kingdom marriage creates a stable, nurturing environment where children thrive emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually.
Example: Studies highlight that children raised in homes with stable, faith-centered marriages tend to perform better academically and develop stronger emotional resilience. Faith-based parenting fosters a legacy of kindness, discipline, and integrity.
Impacting Communities
When Kingdom couples actively live out God’s principles, their love becomes a beacon of hope for others. They mentor younger couples, serve as spiritual leaders, and work together to address social needs.
Example: In Atlanta, one Kingdom couple-initiated community outreach programs that provided resources to struggling families. Their partnership in ministry inspired others to serve together, creating a cycle of blessing.
A Marriage Beyond Earthly Concerns
Kingdom marriages transcend the typical worries of life—money, politics, status—and focus on eternal significance. Here’s how seeking God’s Kingdom helps couples rise above:
Overcoming Financial Anxiety
Scriptural Perspective: Philippians 4:19 assures us that God will provide for all our needs. By trusting Him as the ultimate Provider, Kingdom couples shift their focus from worry to stewardship.
Practical Application: Instead of arguing about money, couples can tithe together, budget prayerfully, and practice generosity, finding peace in the promise of His provision.
Impact: A Harvard study found that generosity within a marriage—such as giving to others—correlates with higher marital satisfaction. Trusting God’s economy offers peace that worldly advice can’t replicate.
Rising Above Divisive Politics
Scriptural Perspective: Colossians 3:2 encourages believers to “set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Kingdom marriages prioritize God’s values over partisan ideologies.
Practical Application: Rather than letting political disagreements cause strife, couples can pray for wisdom together, aligning their decisions with biblical truths rather than societal pressures.
Impact: This unity in Christ models how families can navigate differences with grace, showcasing the power of Kingdom-minded living.
An Eternal Vision: Raising Children and Leaving a Legacy
A Kingdom marriage isn’t just about the present—it’s about building for eternity. By aligning with God’s principles, couples’ rear children who understand their identity in Christ and are equipped to live out their faith boldly. This Godly legacy endures for generations.
Scriptural Foundation: Proverbs 22:6 reminds us, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it.”
Example: The Edwards family, a historical example, demonstrated how a Christ-centered family can leave an enduring legacy. Generations of pastors, educators, and leaders emerged from their lineage, directly impacting their community and beyond.
The Global Impact of Kingdom Marriages
When couples commit to Kingdom principles, the ripple effects reach the world. Businesses run by Kingdom-minded families operate with integrity. Communities become more compassionate and unified. The love of Christ transforms every corner.
Unique Benefits of a Kingdom Marriage
A Model of Grace: Kingdom marriages showcase forgiveness and unconditional love, providing a powerful testimony to unbelievers.
Counter-Cultural Influence: While secular culture promotes individualism, Kingdom marriages emphasize unity, service, and sacrificial love.
Practical Example: A study by Pew Research Center found that couples who share faith are more likely to report higher satisfaction and purpose in their relationship. This reinforces the unique strength of aligning marriage with spiritual principles.
Conclusion: A Kingdom Marriage Vision
A Kingdom marriage isn’t just about two people—it’s about God’s glory, transforming homes, communities, and the world. At Iconic Marriages, we are committed to equipping couples to live out this vision, leaving a legacy that echoes into eternity.
Let’s seek His Kingdom first and watch as “all these things” are added unto us (Matthew 6:33). Together, we can build marriages that are not just iconic but eternal.
BREAKING FEAR
In 2022, I wrote my first book about my miscarriage and the fear I experienced in Breaking Fear. In 2024, I re-released the book again with an epilogue about my daughter’s birth. I had a lot to say about fear.
But fear would rear its ugly head again in my life.
February 6, 2025 and on February24, both my father and my brother passed away. Their deaths have forever impacted me. Through this grief, I learned God can use my personal story, as the story has already told.
I have many fears: of planes, of drowning, of leaving my kids in this chaotic world. Yet, God calls me not to worry. This is how I discovered His Kingdom message.
In Matthew 6:25, Jesus speaks to his disciples, who are worried about their basic needs. He tells them not to worry and instructs them to seek the Kingdom of God first and live righteously.
That my message to you today. I also encourage you to read my books to find strengthen for your trying days.
