Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Genesis 2:24; Mark 10:9; 1 John 4:8 & 19; Ephesians 5:1-2, 22-23 & 25; John 15:10-11; Philippians 2:8

The honeymoon season of marriage is a time when love feels effortless, exciting, and deeply fulfilling—marked by strong emotional and physical connection, a constant desire to be together, and a tendency to see the best in one another. It’s a season where affection flows naturally, attention feels undivided, and the relationship is light, hopeful, and full of promise.

But then the honeymoon season comes to an end… or does it have to?

What does it take for a marriage not only to start well, but to stay good—and even grow better with time?

The short answer: it takes God.

But what does that really mean?

Let’s break the idea that the honeymoon season must fade. If God is good, and God designed marriage to be good, then we should seek His design and learn how to walk in it—so we can continue to enjoy the good He intended for us all along.

Series description:

Let’s be honest—most marriages aren’t nearly as strong as they look. Behind the smiles, many relationships are slowly falling apart. Not overnight, but little by little. Communication breaks down. Attention fades. The compliments stop. The flirting disappears. What once felt exciting and full of life becomes routine, distant, and cold.

And eventually, people begin saying what they never thought they would: “I love them… but I’m not in love anymore.”

That’s not where it started—but it’s where many end up.

This series is about getting real. No pretending. No sugarcoating. We’re going back to “The Best Day Ever”—the wedding day—and walking through what actually happens next. The highs, the lows, the struggles, and the seasons no one prepares you for.

Because real marriage is hard. It takes work. It takes humility. It takes God.

But here’s the truth—your marriage doesn’t have to stay broken, distant, or empty. With God’s help, what feels dead can live again.
