Maybe there’s tension between you, disappointment with God, or just plain exhaustion. In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when you don’t feel like praying together — and why doing it anyway can be one of the most powerful decisions you make for your marriage.

You’ll hear practical encouragement, relatable stories, and a fresh perspective on spiritual intimacy — especially in the moments you least want to pursue it.

1. In this powerful and practical episode of The Marriage Altar, Shana and Michael get real about one of the biggest threats to modern marriages: busyness. If your calendar is full but your connection with your spouse feels empty, you're not alone—and you're not without hope.

We dive into what burnout looks like in marriage, how constant hustle can slowly erode intimacy, and why guarding your relationship requires more than just scheduling date nights. You’ll hear biblical wisdom, personal reflections, and real-world strategies for protecting your covenant from the chaos of an overloaded life.

What We Talk About:

• The subtle ways busyness pulls couples apart

• Recognizing the signs of marital burnout

• Why being “productive” doesn’t always mean being purposeful

• The spiritual cost of always being in a hurry

• Practical rhythms for rest, reconnection, and renewal

• How Sabbath and margin can strengthen your marriage

Key Scripture:
“Be still, and know that I am God.” — Psalm 46:10

Takeaway Challenge:
Choose one thing to say “no” to this week so you can say “yes” to your marriage.
