Today we explore destructive myths that sabotage marriages, examining how these embedded beliefs create barriers to healthy relationships and spiritual growth.

We will talk about the following:

• Common marriage myths prevent capable Christians from breaking through barriers to reach the next level
• Myths create beliefs about our spouse, our future, and justifications for ungodly choices
• Every wrong action starts by believing a lie - what we think in our mind creates our reality
• When we make children the center of our universe, we raise entitled kids unprepared for reality
• The myth "stick it out until kids leave" ignores how damaging living in an unhealthy marriage is for children
• God's purpose for marriage goes beyond child-rearing or future pleasure in retirement years
• A strong marriage models Christ's love and provides the security children truly need
• Don't just survive in your marriage - choose to thrive by serving Christ together
• Breaking generational curses means showing children how to navigate marital challenges with the hope found in Jesus

We pray you are helped and encouraged today!

Myth Busters: The Truths Your Marriage Needs :: [Ep. 287]

This week, we expose common marriage myths that contradict biblical truth, challenging listeners to build marriages on God's design rather than cultural expectations.

We will cover the following:

• Online advice often seeks to validate decisions we've already made rather than offer true biblical guidance
• Marriage isn't meant to be 50-50 but 100-100, with both spouses giving completely as Christ did
• Feelings of being "in love" naturally fluctuate; the key is pleasing Jesus first, not demanding validation from your spouse
• Children won't save a troubled marriage; fix your foundation before expanding your family
• Kids need to see not just conflict resolution but also forgiveness and grace modeled in your marriage
• Being on mission together for God's kingdom creates stronger bonds than pursuing personal happiness

We pray you are helped and encouraged!!

Prayer: The Missing Link in Your Marriage :: [Ep. 284]

Did you know prayer can transform your marital problems into opportunities for unity when approached as a genuine relationship rather than mere ritual? The same principles that govern a healthy marriage—connection, vulnerability, and consistent communication—also create a powerful prayer life.

In this week's podcast episode, we are talking about the following:

• Sacrificial prayer intervention rather than passive observation is a powerful thing
• When emotional connection is missing in marriage, others can fill that void
• Physical passion in marriage prevents fear and temptation from taking control
• Our relationship with God often mirrors our relationship with our spouse
• Marriage forms a triangle with husband and wife at the base and God at the apex
• Prayer should focus on God's will rather than our desires, similar to covenant marriage
• Practical steps to implement today: prioritize God first, pray for your spouse daily, pray together regularly
• Take turns leading prayer, worship together, attend church together, and share your testimony

We hope and pray you are encouraged and helped today!

Marriage Mindset Reset :: [Ep. 283]

This week, we explore how negative self-talk about our husbands can sabotage our marriages and how renewing our minds according to Romans 12:2 can bring transformation and healing to our relationships.

We will talk about the following:

• Fearful thoughts and scorekeeping thoughts often create a transactional view of marriage
• When we experience emotional pain, we can easily begin holding offenses against our spouses
• Bitterness and unforgiveness transform us from being our spouse's advocate into being their adversary
• Replace negative thinking by focusing on whatever is true, honorable, right and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8)
• Learning more about El Rachum (God of compassion) which teaches us to show compassion even when our spouse doesn't "deserve" it
• The negative consequences of drawing lines in the sand
• The effects of fear which leads to isolation which is dangerous to marriage, potentially leading to separate lives
• What ends up on our tongues first starts in our minds, so we must learn to think life
