What It Takes to Transform a Wedding Into a Good Marriage: Fr. Nicholas Louh and Dr. Roxanne Louh

You can always tell how important something is by the priority placed on

it. In Genesis, the very first chapter of the first book of the Bible, God

establishes a family, Adam and Eve. The very first thing God does in the New

Testament is the merging of family between Mary and Joseph in the birth of

Christ. And the very first miracle Jesus performs is at a wedding, the wedding

at Cana. It is now officially wedding season, in the month of June more

weddings will take place than at any other time of the year. But how do you

ensure that a beautiful wedding with all the pomp and pageantry creates a

strong marriage, where husband and wife move forward joyfully in whole-life

oneness? Enter Fr. Nicholas Louh and Dr. Roxanne Louh. Fr. Nick is a Greek

Orthodox Priest who’s presided over the nuptials of scores of couples. His wife

Dr. Roxanne Louh is a clinical psychologist and family therapist who sees many

of those couples after the luster has worn off the glitz of the wedding and a

life of children, careers and financial strains complicated their “happily

ever after”. On this episode of Lighthouse Faith podcast, the Louhs talk

about how to overcome difficulties in marriage, even some of the

worst things that could happen, like an adulterous affair. But more

importantly, how God’s design for marriage is the key to a strong marriage, one

that truly is, “for better or for worse.”
