In this raw and necessary episode of the Covenant Army Marriage Podcast, Brent and Lucy tackle a battle that many couples face but rarely talk about: using sex as a weapon in marriage. Whether it’s out of anger, hurt, control, or manipulation, withholding intimacy isn’t just emotional sabotage, it’s spiritual warfare.

Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7:5, we unpack how intentional deprivation opens the door to temptation, resentment, and division. God designed intimacy not only for pleasure but as protection, a shield of unity that guards your marriage from the enemy’s schemes.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of disconnection or have allowed your emotions to dictate your availability, this episode is your call to repent, reconnect, and restore your covenant.

What You’ll Learn:

• The danger of withholding intimacy

• Why emotional and physical distance feeds spiritual vulnerability

• How to rebuild trust and restore healthy rhythms of connection

• What mutual submission really looks like in the bedroom

It’s time to stop starving each other,  and start fighting with each other, not against each other.
