Doing Marriage God's Way

Dear Tipping Point Family,

You might know me best for teaching Bible prophecy and helping people understand the signs of the times. That’s been a passion of mine for decades, and I’m grateful God has allowed me to serve you in that way through Tipping Point.

But let me share something with you that’s equally close to my heart: your marriage.

Long before I was teaching prophecy, I was a guy whose marriage was falling apart. As a young couple, Karen and I were on the brink of divorce. I was dominant, insensitive, and honestly, a terrible husband. But God met us in that broken place and completely transformed our relationship. That was over 50 years ago, and today we’re more in love than ever.

That painful, yet victorious, journey is why I founded XO Marriage—to help couples experience the transformation God made in our marriage. And that’s why I’m writing to you today.

I’ve just released something I believe can revolutionize marriages: Doing Marriage God’s Way. This isn’t just another marriage video course. It’s the biblical blueprint Karen and I discovered when our marriage was dying—the same principles that have helped millions of couples over the past 44 years of marriage ministry.

Here’s what makes this resource different:

You know how I teach prophecy—going straight to the Bible, making it practical, and giving you something you can actually use? That’s exactly what I’ve done with this marriage material. We cut through all the cultural confusion and get back to Genesis 2:24–25, where God laid out His design for marriage in four simple laws:

PRIORITY – Marriage comes first (after God)

PURSUIT – You have to work at love

PARTNERSHIP – You’re equal partners in everything

PURITY – Take responsibility for your behavior

The first half of this course (available now) covers these four laws plus two critical sessions: understanding your spouse’s deepest needs and fulfilling your biblical roles as husband and wife. It’s six sessions that can transform your marriage and help it thrive.

I’ve created three different companion guides that are included in your video purchase:

1. COUPLE’S DISCUSSION AND ACTIVITY GUIDE – For you and your spouse to work through together at home, just the two of you. No group required. Complete privacy. Deep conversations. Practical homework.

2. GROUP PARTICIPANT GUIDE – Perfect for small groups or Sunday school classes. All the video teaching notes, reflection questions, and application exercises you need.

3. LEADER’S GUIDE – Everything a group leader needs: fill-in-the-blank answers, discussion questions, facilitation tips, and how to handle the tough topics that come up.

The first half of the course is available right now. The Foundations (sessions 1-6) gives you the biblical framework. Then next month, we’re releasing The Practices (sessions 7-12), which takes you deeper into communication, finances, conflict resolution, and more.

Listen, I get it. You’re watching world events. You’re studying prophecy. You’re preparing for what’s coming. That’s important—vitally important. But here’s what I’ve learned in five decades of ministry: You can’t be ready for what’s ahead if your home is falling apart.

Your marriage is the second most important relationship you have after your relationship with Jesus. The enemy wants to destroy it. He wants to distract you, divide you, and ultimately defeat your witness. Don’t let him!

Whether your marriage is struggling or strong, these principles will help you. Karen and I use them every single day. They work in the good times and the hard times. They’re timeless because they come straight from God’s Word.

Here’s my challenge to you: Invest in your marriage the way you invest in understanding the times. Give it six weeks. Work through these sessions with your spouse. Or start a group at your church. I promise you, if you apply these biblical principles, your marriage will improve or become even better than it already is.

You can get your copy here:

And if you’re a pastor or small group leader, consider using this material with the couples in your church. I’ve made it as easy as possible to lead, even if you’ve never taught marriage material before.

From one prophecy student to another, I want to remind you: The best days of your marriage can still be ahead of you, no matter where you’re starting from. Karen and I are living proof.

Let’s build strong marriages that will stand firm in these last days.

For your marriage,

Jimmy Evans

XO Marriage reaches millions of couples every year through our resources, events, and online content. This course represents some of the most important things I’ve learned about helping couples build marriages that last. I hope you’ll give it a chance.
