Flowers, attire, and menu oh my! So much goes into planning a wedding that the true purpose of the event can be forgotten. A good steward recognizes Christ in every thing (yes, even your in-laws). Read on to learn how a marriage covenant is an excellent example of stewardship.

RECORDED WEBINAR: The Biblical steward was a person who was trusted by the owner to hire, fire, and make decisions, one who treated the property with the same care as if it were his, but “in trust” for the owner.
