The Marriage Fix (The Bluprint)

Dr Dharius Daniels·Change Church

Wednesday, September 16, 2026

Part of Relationshipology

Summary

Fixing a marriage does not start by trying to fix the marriage directly, but by fixing the foundational areas that make a marriage flourish. Dr. Dharius Daniels outlines four essential areas every couple must focus on: spiritual maturity, biblical submission, sacrificial service, and healthy marital intimacy. When believers prioritize spiritual formation over mere information, they experience God's intended best for covenant union.

Pastor's Points

1.Spiritual Maturity
2.Submission
3.Service
4.Sex

Key Points

1.You don't fix a thing by trying to fix a thing; you fix a thing by fixing the things that fix the thing.
2.God's original intent for marriage, established in Genesis, is for it to be fruitful, flourishing, fulfilling, and free.
3.Execution of biblical information requires spiritual formation; marriage techniques fail without spiritual maturity.
4.Fixing a marriage requires growing in spiritual maturity, where both partners yield to the Spirit and cultivate spiritual fruit.
5.Biblical submission is a voluntary yielding under a shared God-given mission out of reverence for Christ, not an involuntary condition of inferiority.
6.A godly leader recognizes when to submit to the authority of their spouse's expertise and spiritual gifts.
7.Marital love demands sacrificial service modeled after Jesus giving Himself up for the church.
8.Healthy physical intimacy in marriage is a mutual responsibility that expresses oneness and protects against temptation.

Sermon Moments

“You don't fix a thing by trying to fix a thing. You fix a thing by fixing the things that fix the thing.”

“Fruitful is what I produce. Flourishing is what I become. That's God's intention for a marriage.”

“Some marriage issues cannot be solved with better techniques. The issue isn't a lack of information; sometimes it's a lack of formation.”

“Spiritual maturity is revealed by spiritual fruit, not by the exuberance of praise or emotional reactions in church.”

“Some problems are not communication problems—they're self-control problems. Some are not compatibility problems—they're kindness problems.”

“Submission is a voluntary willingness to yield under a mission; it is not an involuntary condition of inferiority.”

“In marriage, relationally, we can't satisfy ourselves—I'm depending on my spouse, and my spouse is depending on me.”

This Week

Evaluate whether current marital conflicts stem from a lack of information or a lack of spiritual formation and maturity.
Examine your daily life for the fruit of the Holy Spirit—such as patience, kindness, and self-control—and ask God to refine your character.
Practice biblical submission by voluntarily yielding your personal preferences to support your spouse's God-given strengths and expertise.
Identify one practical way this week to serve your spouse sacrificially without expecting anything in return.
Shift your relational focus from asking 'What am I getting out of this marriage?' to asking 'What am I giving into this covenant?'
Communicate openly and selflessly with your spouse to establish mutuality and care in your physical intimacy.
If single or dating, evaluate potential partners through the filter of spiritual maturity, willingness to serve, and ability to lead.

Remember This

To experience God's best in marriage, couples must focus on fixing the foundational roots of spiritual maturity, biblical submission, sacrificial service, and mutual intimacy.

A Challenge for You

Commit to valuing God's practical truth above culture by actively applying biblical formation to your daily character and covenantal relationships.
