Kids are a blessing—but they can also pull marriages apart if couples aren’t intentional.

In this episode of the Grace Marriage Podcast, Brad is joined by Rob Pierce, Caleb Potter, and Trey Pippen to talk about how children, with their sports schedules, constant demands, and daily chaos, can quietly take center stage in a marriage. The group shares practical ways to avoid child-centered marriages, from weekly coffee traditions and consistent date nights to learning how to say “no” to overpacked youth sports schedules.

Whether you’re raising toddlers, teens, or somewhere in between, you’ll find both conviction and encouragement in this real conversation about keeping your spouse first...for your good, AND for your kids’ good.
