Did God merely tolerate multiple marriages in the ancient world, or was polygamy part of the blueprint all along? In Part 3 of our series, Is Polygamy Biblical?, we move past historical examples and return to foundational theology: God’s original design and purpose for marriage. While figures like Abraham, Jacob, and David had multiple wives, Scripture tells a far deeper story about covenant, union, and the spiritual picture marriage is meant to represent.

In Part 2 of our deep dive into biblical marriage, we tackle one of the most requested and controversial questions: Is polygamy biblical, or does it cross into sexual perversion? While plural marriage appears throughout the Old Testament narrative, does scripture actually endorse it as God's design, or is it a reflection of human compromise? In this episode, we break down what the Bible says about marital purity, God's original blueprint established in Genesis, and how deviating from that foundation impacts relational and spiritual dynamics. Share your thoughts, questions, or key takeaways in the comments below! Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share this episode with someone looking for clarity on this topic.

When you read through the Old Testament, one pattern quickly becomes hard to ignore: many of the most prominent figures in Scripture—from Abraham and Jacob to David and Solomon—had multiple wives. But does the presence of polygamy in the biblical narrative equal divine approval, or is there a crucial difference between what the Bible records and what it prescribes? In Part 1 of this series, we dive deep into the initial issues and theological tensions surrounding polygamy in the Scriptures. We examine the foundational text of Genesis, track the immediate fallout of polygamous relationships in biblical history, and lay the groundwork to answer a question that continues to provoke debate. Join us as we strip away modern assumptions and look closely at what the text actually says.

Navigating extended family dynamics is often one of the most challenging aspects of a marriage. It is completely normal to feel overwhelmed when the people you love offer opinions on your relationship, but it is equally vital to ground your marriage in clear, healthy boundaries to protect your peace.

In Episode 99 of About This Love, we tackle the reality of unsolicited family input. In Part 1 of this series, "Advice with Limitations," we explore how to receive guidance from parents, siblings, or in-laws while recognizing exactly when that advice crosses the line. We provide candid, straightforward strategies to help you and your partner filter out the noise, manage expectations, and prioritize your marital bond above all else.

When does well-meaning family advice cross the line into marital interference?

When you get married, you don't just marry your partner—you blend families, traditions, and opinions. While family support is invaluable, unsolicited advice and overstepping can quickly create tension, resentment, and division between you and your spouse. It is tough to draw the line when guilt and loyalty come into play, but protecting the peace of your marriage is non-negotiable.

In Part 1 of this two-part deep dive, we break down the reality of extended family dynamics and why setting boundaries isn’t disrespectful—it’s necessary survival for your marriage.

Marriage isn't always smooth sailing, and disagreements are a natural part of two lives merging into one. But what happens when the storm hits? This episode focuses on the "Rules of Engagement" every couple needs to navigate conflict safely. We share insights on maintaining emotional safety, avoiding common communication pitfalls, and ensuring that your relationship always wins, even when you don't see eye-to-eye.
