Communication continues to be one of the most hotly requested topics from our listeners. So, today we talked about themes that tend to undermine healthy communication: 1) Oversimplification, 2) Failure to Empathize, and 3) Bad Timing and Tone. Listen and learn new ways to approach conversations and conflict with clarity fueled by biblical love. We hope you enjoy!

Some couples ask this question in earnest, so we spent some time looking at the Bible's perspective on porn, lust, and the marriage bed. This is the first of we hope will be many one-off Quick Q&A sessions (name pending). We hope it blesses you!

God created marriage to be BIGGER than you! It's bigger than today, it's bigger than our cultural context, and it's bigger than our struggles. Why and how is it bigger? In today's episode, we talked about seeing marriage in its proper context as part of God's plan for redemption throughout history, but also redemption in our daily lives. We hope it blesses you!

It's all too easy to pay lip service to Jesus in life and marriage, but live as if he's not King. In this episode of the Fierce Marriage Podcast, we recapped lessons we've learned from the past few weeks since the arrival of our 3rd daughter. God graciously allowed us to realize areas of our lives that we can tend to enthrone in a place of undue authority. We talked about the (little 'g') gods of control/power, status/pride, and (this is a big one we tend to worship all too quickly) comfort/pleasure. We hope you learn something new!

The 31st chapter of Proverbs is a beautiful piece of Scripture. However, it's so easy to read it in a way that is contrary to the original intent of the work. The result can mean that ladies/wives feel an overwhelming burden to strive, work, and toil to become the woman portrayed. In today's episode we discussed why that is and we propose a "better" reading of this famous chapter of Proverbs. We hope it blesses you. ALERT: this episode isn't just for ladies.

We tried this experiment, it was awesome, so you should try it too. "Selena and I kiss plenty, but we realized that we don’t often kiss for more than a few seconds. I’m not exactly sure why, but I do know it wasn’t like that when we were dating. We made out way too much and for too long when we were dating… After my “sales pitch”, Selena and I agreed to try a few days with the “15 second kiss” rule. Here’s what we learned (or were reminded of)…" Listen for more!

It's easy to forget to pursue each other when you've been together for a while. Life gets busy, time gets scarce, and before we know it, we've forgotten to intentionally love one another. This week we discussed tangible ways to enjoy each other more in marriage. Enjoy!

When it comes down to it, what or who is the functional authority in your marriage? In today's episode we take a deep dive into Matthew 21 and examining what Jesus said as his authority was challenged... and of course, we'll talk about all it means for life and marriage. We hope it blesses you!

God calls us out of our hiding, not for our shame, but so that we may flourish in fulfilling our ultimate purpose: to glorify him. This description is short, because I'm writing it as we wait for Selena to have our third daughter! Carry on... we hope this episode blesses you!

While it is nice to have friends around you that will watch your back and take your side, those same friends should understand that most often, the BEST way they can love you well is to fight for you AND the health of your marriage. In this episode, we discussed the differences between marriage advocates vs. marriage adversaries. Enjoy!
