In this sermon, Tony reflects on 35 years of marriage and shares seven key “ingredients” that have strengthened his relationship with his wife. Using the metaphor of a recipe, he emphasizes agape love as the foundation, mutual submission, vulnerability, being emotionally and spiritually present, maintaining healthy relationships with others, offering consistent praise, and choosing to be “broken together” through forgiveness and mercy. The message encourages couples to build their marriages on God as the foundation and to intentionally cultivate a love that endures through growth, grace, and commitment.
