In Episode 3 of Brotherhood Forged, Joey and Paul get real about the ups and downs of marriage — what they’ve learned, what they’ve done wrong, and how God’s design continues to shape their relationships.

From overcoming bad habits to learning how to lead with love, they unpack key misconceptions and offer Biblical encouragement rooted in Ephesians 5:25 — “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church.”
