Key Books on Marriage

Bishop Oyedepo and Pastor Faith have authored several transformative books available through Dominion Publishing House:

Core Teachings and Key Principles

1. Marriage is a Covenant, Not a Contract
   Rooted in Genesis 2:24, marriage is a lifelong divine ordinance for companionship, fruitfulness, and dominion. It is “for better, for worse” and enhances life when honored properly.
2. Success in Marriage Must Be Worked At
   “Success in marriage is not wished for, but worked at.” Couples must invest time, prayer, and effort daily.
3. Biblical Roles and Submission
   Husbands: Love sacrificially (Ephesians 5:25).
   Wives: Submit joyfully as unto the Lord (Ephesians 5:22; 1 Peter 3:6).
   Divine order brings rest and breakthrough.
4. Love, Communication, and the Power of the Tongue
   Speak life into your marriage. Effective communication and forgiveness are essential: “If you talk together, you stay together.”
5. Faith, Prayer, and Serving God Together
   Both partners must be born again and committed to God. Prayer and joint service invite supernatural favor (Deuteronomy 32:30).
6. Leave, Cleave, and Build Independently
   Form a new family unit without interference (Genesis 2:24).
7. Avoid Pride and Embrace Continuous Growth
   Marriage is a lifelong school – stay humble and keep learning.
