## Resource

In this episode of The Bible Based Believer, Chris Havard sits down with Mikayla Rose to tackle one of the most avoided conversations in the modern church — how to get into a biblical marriage. Not dating tips. Not relationship advice. Scripture first. We break down what Paul actually said about marriage, why so many Christian relationships fail before they ever reach the altar, and what God's standard really looks like when it comes to who you marry and how you pursue them. This is Episode 1 of the Covenant series — a three-part deep dive into biblical marriage from every angle. This episode will challenge how you think about relationships.
