Getting Married to Someone I Met A Month Ago, Marriage Story of Mary

Marriage Story of Mary details the real story of Mary's journey in finding her husband, as she obeys God's will and ultimately discovers the blessings and divine promises of a biblical Christian marriage.

Born as the daughter of a poor pastor’s family, Mary begins recording her faith journey as an insecure middle schooler. Mary details the series of obediences that God requests of her to let go of what she, in order to be accepted by people, held steadfast to. Over the years, Mary realizes that everything God had asked her to let go of He had always proved faithful in providing in greater abundance and perfection.

But one day, God asks her a strange question. “Mary, can you give me your marriage?” Having prayed every day for her future husband with a list of 30 items ever since she was 13, Mary could not give to God what He asked for. With the plan of God having led Mary to a man whom she had never met to commit her entire life to in a single month, what was Mary to do? Would she be able to obey?
