The Story: Three Wedding Rings
In July 2026, I had a vivid dream of a struggling marriage. In the dream, I saw a couple on the brink of failure. The wife wanted to step away because she thought God wanted her to divorce her husband. I told her that God does not destroy marriages, but instead builds them up. I also told her that if she would contend for her marriage, God would restore it. In the dream, I contended for their marriage by singing songs of worship and by interceding for their marriage. I asked the wife to give me their wedding rings to pray for them. I took the rings to the altar of the church and lifted them up, along with a third ring in the center that represented Jesus Christ. When I put the three rings in the right order, and lifted them up to heaven in prayer and worship, their marriage was restored. Their love bloomed!
When I woke up, I immediately realized that God was going to use the dream to heal at least one marriage. God gave me this interpretation: marriage is a sacred union of three people: the husband, the wife and God Himself. He loves to build up and strengthen marriages. He wants to heal relationships. He also wants people to contend for their marriages, to not give up. If they do, God will restore their marriages.
One of my first responses to the dream was to paint it. My painting features three golden rings, each one equally important. The center ring is the Jesus ring. The rings are inside a cathedral with beautiful stained glass windows – full of light. The cross at the top of the painting is the symbol of redemption. What Jesus Christ did on the cross redeems everything, even struggling marriages. Humanly speaking, it may be impossible, but with God all things are possible.
This painting also comes with a deep dive guide on marriage that is available as a free download here. You do not have to purchase the painting to use the free downloadable PDF.
