Marriage And Purpose, Which One Should Come First?

The famous Pastor Benny Hinn and his wife divorced on 19th November 2025. The divorce was based on irreconcilable differences.

The famous Pastor Kenneth Copeland is married to his third wife Grace.
Marriage isn’t a death sentence, he only paid your dowry, he didn’t buy you, so he has no right to reduce you to animal propensity, you’re a human like him, without him you have a more serious better future and life ahead of you, so why surrender to perpetual torture in the name of what? Marriage, what’s marriage to harm your life and essence?

Marriage wasn’t given by God to destroy your destiny; marriage shouldn’t be a weapon fashioned against your purpose; and marriage shouldn’t be a thief of your joy.
When you find yourself in a toxic marriage, and you’re losing your senses, you’re close to madness, just walk away and save both your emotional and spiritual sanity.

Marriage is absolutely nothing compared to your life, marriage is nothing compared to your happiness, and marriage is nothing when you have lost the taste of your identity.
Wrong marriage is a direct ticket to Hell if you aren’t careful enough, how can you please God when there is bitterness and sorrow day by day in your heart as a result of wrong marriage?

It’s difficult to please God when we are entangled in a toxic marriage; it will be difficult to make Heaven when we end up in the wrong marriage. The very moment you step into a wrong marriage is the day you gave up your soul for spiritual gambling.
If you think you have the needed grace to face it, then face it, but remember those who tried to face it ended up in dishonorable graves.

A toxic marriage is like a VIRUS, you can’t heal it, the more you try to remove the VIRUS the more it eats you up, there are some marriages inspired by deception, there are marriages inspired by the marine spirits, there are some marriages inspired by lies, you can’t change it, the damage is already done, the best option is to walk away, and this time around ask God to direct your decision to start all over again, and I know God being so merciful answers such prayer very fast, because your happiness is his happiness.

There are Biblical grounds for divorce, you don’t need to bother about what people will say, will anyone share in your pains? No, will they share in your tears? No, will they take your place in the grave if it consumes your soul? No, then why worry about what people will say whereas you’re the one the VIRUS is gradually eating down.

Life is precious; it has no duplicate. So why toil with your life in the furnace of a VIRUS-infested marriage, happiness is very fragile; once it’s ruptured, you need to find another source of happiness.
Marriage doesn’t have anything it takes to condemn a life, marriage should serve your purpose and not harm it.

I believe in successful marriage, but when it becomes a weapon against your common existence and purpose, just save your life first, there are sunny days ahead where all your desires have been made available, you can see it already, so take it boldly in faith, it’s a call of destiny.
