When God Is on the Throne – Also God in the Home

In this solo-hosted episode of Couples of Destiny on Radio Cape Pulpit, Teri speaks on the powerful theme: "When God is on the throne – is God also in the home?" She reminds listeners that the first church is the church at home, and that before running ministries or serving in public, couples must ensure that God reigns in their private lives.
Teri shares a story of a married couple whose small disagreements had escalated into tension and frustration. One evening, the wife realized they had stopped inviting God into their marriage. They began a simple habit – holding hands and praying together for just two minutes each night. Within weeks, something shifted. Problems didn't disappear overnight, but their hearts softened, and they drew closer to God and to each other.
She emphasises three characteristics when God becomes the centre of a relationship:
The question changes from "Who is right?" to "What honours God?"
Grace becomes stronger than offence (Ephesians 4:32).
Love becomes intentional – not just an emotion, but a daily choice (1 Corinthians 13).
Teri encourages couples to invite God back into their homes, even in the middle of chaos, with a simple prayer: "Lord, reign in this home again." She concludes that God is never absent – He is simply waiting to be invited. Prayer reorders the spiritual environment, softens arguments, humbles pride, and shifts atmospheres.
