Before “I do,” couples are full of hope, love—and expectations they don’t even realize they’re carrying. In this episode, we unpack one of the biggest threats to marriage today: unmet expectations. From spiritual leadership to daily habits, many of the things that frustrate couples after the wedding were never clearly understood before it. Scripture reminds us that God calls us to faithfulness, not perfection, and that encouragement—not unrealistic expectations—is what builds lasting unity. If you’re engaged, newly married, or feeling the weight of disappointment in your relationship, this conversation offers biblical clarity, grace-filled perspective, and practical encouragement for building a Christ-centered marriage.
