As we step into 2026, it’s not about making resolutions — it’s about making decisions.
Every marriage is either building something or burying something.
The question is: what in your marriage needs to die so something better can live?
Every year, couples carry old habits, unspoken hurts, and unresolved conflicts into a new season — expecting new results from the same foundations. But new life can’t grow in old soil. You’ve got to do some spiritual demolition before you can rebuild.
We will look at what you need to bring in and what needs ti be removed as we go into a new year and a new marriage!

When a storm hits your marriage, how prepared are you. Many couples, in the midst of a storm, grow closer, rely on one another, and need each other to make it through. Why? How did it draw them closer when others seem to be torn apart?
What you do IN BETWEEN matters more than the storm itself.
Most couples only start praying, pursuing, and fighting for their marriage when the storm hits.

Understanding the enemy’s strategy — distraction, division, and disconnection. He is subtle and if we do not wake up to the battle we are in, we will be deceived into thinking our spouse, kids, or the culture around us is the enemy.

Today we’re breaking down why your marriage carries massive influence in a world that’s drifting away from commitment. From the atmosphere in your home to the example you’re setting for your kids, your relationship is shaping far more than just the two of you.
We’ll unpack how choosing each other—daily, intentionally, even on the hard days—pushes back against a culture that quits fast and loves shallow. If you need a reminder that your marriage still matters, this episode brings the spark back.

When men go silent, marriages suffer. In this episode, we’re talking about what happens when husbands check out—when apathy replaces action and silence replaces leadership. We’ll unpack why men often withdraw, how it impacts their wives, and what it takes to re-engage and lead with purpose again.

Your marriage isn’t just struggling because of stress, kids, or communication issues — it’s under spiritual attack. The enemy hates unity, covenant, and love that reflects Christ. In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on why the devil targets marriage and how you can stand firm, fight back, and protect what God has joined together.
