What does it mean to have a marriage that isn't easily broken, especially when the trials and troubles of life seem to be attacking from every side? What do you do when one spouse feels weary or disconnected, or the marriage is spiritually lopsided and causes constant tension or conflict?

In today's episode, we're unpacking what intention, humility, and partnership look like in a strong marriage. I'm sharing three shifts that will help you move from an "okay" marriage to a marriage that is mutually fulfilling. Based on the scripture from Ecclesiastes 4, we look at what it takes to stand back-to-back with your spouse when things get hard or burdensome. How do you maintain your own footing when your spouse is faltering? And what mindset shifts need to happen for things to improve in your marriage?

Key Takeaways:

  • How to build spiritual intimacy in a spiritually lopsided marriage

  • How to reframe marriage problems without ignoring real issues

  • How prayer can help save your marriage and your mindset
