Ep. 23 - Fights, Finances & Feelings: Learning to Do Marriage God’s Way

What really happens after the wedding photos fade and real life sets in?

In this behind-the-scenes marriage conversation, Pastor Mike Hilson sits down with Theo & Sylvana Bolden and Max & Phil Higgins to talk honestly about how they met, what first drew them together, and the moments they wondered, “Is this the one?” From Max realizing she could show up in sweatpants and still feel fully loved, to Sylvana’s infamous “Move over, Mr. ChapStick” line at a café in Delaware, these couples share the funny, awkward, and vulnerable beginnings of their love stories.

They don’t stop at cute stories, though. Pastor Mike walks everyone through:

• How God used their relationship to grow and mature them
• The first real fights—over clothes, trust, and finances
• What it means to create “rules of engagement” for conflict
• Why marriage has to be a choice you keep making, not just a feeling
• How to keep your long-term vision (retirement, calling, family) in view when emotions run high

If you’re dating, engaged, newly married, or years into the journey, this episode will give you real-world encouragement, practical wisdom, and a reminder that God is at work even in your messiest conversations.
