What does Jesus have to do with your relationship goals? Everything.
Whether you’re engaged or just praying for “the one,” Jesus gives us a powerful blueprint in John 2:1-11, where He attended a wedding and turned water into wine. The first miracle Jesus performed was at a wedding. That wasn’t a coincidence; it was intentional. In John 2, Jesus turned water into wine, but before the miracle happened, there were steps, a recipe we can learn from.
This wasn’t just about drinks at a party; this miracle revealed how He can transform ordinary love stories into something divine.
Let’s break down Jesus’ recipe for a happy relationship, yes, it works in 2025 too!
- Invite Jesus from the start
“Jesus... and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.” – John 2:2
Before the miracle, Jesus was present. Too many people invite Jesus after the drama, heartbreak, or confusion. But what if you started with Him?
💬 Lesson: Don’t build with someone who’s not willing to build with Jesus. He must be the foundation, not just a guest you call when things get tough.
- Relationships Need More Than Vibes: They Need Substance
“They have no more wine.” – John 2:3
The party started great, but eventually, the wine (joy, energy, excitement) ran out. That happens in every relationship. Feelings fade. Pressure comes. Real life kicks in.
💬 Lesson: A healthy relationship isn’t just about how you feel today, but who you become together tomorrow and how you impact each other's lives positively, with Jesus helping you both grow.
- Use What You Have: Even If It’s Ordinary
“Fill the jars with water.” – John 2:7
Jesus used water, not wine ingredients. God often uses what’s already in your hands: your honesty, commitment, spiritual growth, and time, to build something lasting.
💬 Lesson: Don’t wait for perfection. Bring what you have, and let God transform it.
- Fill It to the Brim: Give It Your Best
“They filled them to the brim.” – John 2:7
Half effort, half blessing. But full obedience, full transformation.
💬 Lesson: Don’t play games. If you’re in a relationship, give your best, not just your leftovers. And if you’re not ready to give your best, wait.
- Trust the Process: Even When It Feels Slow
“Draw some out now and take it...” – John 2:8
The servants didn’t understand what was happening, but they followed through anyway. That’s faith.
💬 Lesson: You may not see results right away, but trust God’s timing. He’s working even when you don’t understand the “how.”
- With Jesus, the Best Comes Last
“You have saved the best till now.” – John 2:10
Culture says: “Start fast, fall in love quickly, enjoy now.”
Jesus says: “Start with Me, grow with Me, and I’ll bring the BEST in My time.”
💬 Lesson: What God is preparing for you is better than anything you can rush into.
Final Thoughts:
- Invite Jesus in
- Don’t run on feelings alone
- Give your best
- Trust His process
- Believe your best days are ahead
