Moriah Peters Shares Christian Marriage Tips

Moriah Peters, wife of For King & Country lead singer Joel Smallbone, shares why she keeps Christ at the center of her marriage.

You may remember Moriah from her American idol audition back in 2010. While she didn’t earn a ticket to Hollywood, her audition stuck out because of her wholesome Christian values.

Moriah went on to sign with a Christian record label and released numerous albums. During that time, she was introduced to Joel Smallbone.

Joel is one half of the popular Christian band, For King & Country. It was love at first sight for Joel. A few years later, the two were married. But, despite the deep love that they shared for one another, they still endured struggles and hardship.

While speaking with I Am Second, Moriah talks about overcoming those obstacles and why trusting in God is so important for a couple.

“God being the center of our relationship, I think it boils down to that. You put two imperfect people together and you’re asking them to protect one another’s hearts and to love one another unconditionally. So, to us, it seems like the only way to do that is by accessing and tapping into a love that’s bigger than us.”

Joel also joins in on the conversation. “There is an author, our creator, and our designer that does have this superhuman, superhero perfect love for us.” Moriah wholeheartedly admits that their marriage is not perfect, but when God is placed in the center, they can trust that He will lead the way.
