Now, Moriah Peters, age 26, has been married for over 5 years. And despite the deep love she and Joel share, they have still endured struggles and hardship in their relationship.
While speaking with I Am Second, Moriah talks about overcoming those obstacles and why trusting in God is so important for a couple.
“God being the center of our relationship, I think it boils down to that. You put two imperfect people together and you’re asking them to protect one another’s hearts and to love one another unconditionally. So, to us, it seems like the only way to do that is by accessing and tapping into a love that’s bigger than us.”
