First comes the wedding, then comes the war. In this episode, Javier talks about how the enemy doesn't care that you're married; he cares if you know the purpose of your marriage. Couples spend so much time fighting one another that they lose sight of the impact their marriage can have on their children, neighbors, and society as a whole.

Join us as we explore men's responsibility to lead and provide masculine clarity and decisiveness. While it’s true that in marriage, we are to work together and seek to make the best decisions as a team, God ultimately set it up for men to lead within their marriage and family. Too many men have forsaken their responsibility to lead and make decisions, leading their wives to become the masculine, which is not a role they are called to or desire to fulfill.   This episode is one you will want to bookmark!

In marriage, the balance of give and take can shift like the wind, with each spouse sometimes showing more than they receive. In seasons, one spouse may need more support, understanding, or attention, while the other may need to step back and provide that extra care. It's in these moments that true partnership and teamwork shine through, as each person's willingness to adapt and support each other strengthens the bond of love and respect in the marriage. 
Listen as the Labs unpack this topic, and you will find out in their marriage who takes up more space.
