Today on the Heart and Hustle Podcast Evie and Lindsey are sitting down and chatting with Gary Thomas, a bestselling author and international speaker whose ministry brings people closer to Christ, their spouses, and others. Evie and Lindsey dive right in by asking Gary to elaborate on a central theme of his book, "Sacred Marriage": "What if God designed marriage to make us holy more than to make us happy?". They talk about how many couples may enter marriage with the expectation that it will fulfill and satisfy them emotionally, what Gary would say to those who are currently feeling disillusioned or disappointed in their marriage experience, and what some tangible practices are that they can implement to begin rebuilding trust and emotional intimacy. Gary describes marriage as a refining fire, a context in which God often reveals and shapes our character, and he gives his insights on how couples should respond when they begin to see their own weaknesses or sin more clearly through the relationship. They explore the importance of praying together in a marriage, what simple daily and weekly practices can strengthen marriage and invite God's presence in the relationship, and so much more on this week's episode of the Heart and Hustle podcast with Gary Thomas. --------------------------------- Editing Style Freebie: https://theheartuniversity.com/style
