February 05, 2019 The Massive Importance of Margin in Life and Marriage
Too often, we fill our lives to the brim and our marriages suffer as a result. The problem is that life is unpredictable. We need extra space—MARGIN—so we have patience, time, and resources to deal with life's unpredictability in a healthy way.
In this week's episode, Ryan and Selena discussed why busyness is overrated, how to prioritize, and three practical areas where margin is vital for a healthier life and marriage.

January 29, 2019 Clinging to Truth in a Post-Truth World
If we're not careful, subtle cultural lies can begin to have huge consequences on big truths in marriage. In a culture ruled by relative truths, it's more important now than ever to stand on God's Word as true, inerrant, and authoritative in our lives.
How do we sort out truth? How do we gain unity around complex questions? We’re going to talk through this and provide some clear tangible pathways to understanding and clinging to God's truth.

January 22, 2019 Finances in Marriage: 7 Principles Every Couple Should Consider
Finances are a hot topic in every marriage. It can be insanely stressful (https://fiercemarriage.com/managing-financial-stress-in-your-marriage), and if we’re not careful we can get caught up in the comparison game (https://fiercemarriage.com/crushing-comparison).
We certainly don’t know everything about this or have a silver bullet to fix every financial woe in your marriage. However, we have learned a few principles that help us stay focused on the main thing: God. Having the right perspective on finances will serve at least three important purposes in your married life:
* Keep God at the center and in control of your life, not money
* Keep money in its rightful place – a few notches down the priority list
* Replace stress with trust and striving with faithfulness, thus adding to your overall marital joy
Keep listening for 7 principles we’ve learned about finances.

January 15, 2019 Enjoying Each Other to the Glory to God
If the chief end of man (and therefore, marriage) is to glorify God, what does that mean for our sex life? Namely, how do we KNOW if our sex life in marriage is everything it can and should be? In today's episode, we'll discuss vulnerability, various popular views of sexuality, and a behavioral psychology model for building habits for a thriving sex life.
Due to sensitive content, we recommend not having kiddos present when listening to this episode.

January 08, 2019 Your Spouse, Your Ultimate Standard of Attractiveness
This is one of those issues that will make or break your marriage.
Men, we are constantly barraged with culture’s standard of womanly beauty. We are subconsciously told over and over again that a beautiful woman must be skinny, tall, wear certain clothes, act a certain way, and have a risqué appetite for sex.
Advertisers and content producers spend billions establishing and reinforcing what culture deems beautiful. The funny thing is that if asked to describe what a beautiful woman looks like, content producers would quickly mention inner beauty, individual uniqueness, and personality. You’ll never catch them verbalizing that beauty has to look the way they show.
In today's podcast, we look at this phenomenon and share practical ways to set your own spouse as your ultimate standard of attractiveness.

January 03, 2019 5 Tips (and Tools) for a Stronger Marriage This Year
If you’re like us (and like most), goals you make usually revolve around work and lifestyle: “hit this revenue milestone” or “pay off such-and-such debt”. Those goals are good, so long as they’re in the proper context of your identity in Christ and your Gospel-centered purpose as a new creation in him.
This year, we're urging ourselves (and you!) to look closer to home when targeting big, crazy endeavors. Consider this: how can your marriage and family be different and/or more healthy this year? What experiences can you pursue together that will build your faith and trust in God while making use of your days to glorify him? Really… think about it. What could be?
To that end, we've compiled this list of 5 tips/tools that we think are very helpful for building on specific, important aspects of your marriage. We hope they help you!
All of the links mentioned can be found here: https://fiercemarriage.com/5-tips-and-tools-for-a-stronger-marriage-this-year

December 18, 2018 Advent, Your Marriage, and the Rest of the Year
We are all searching for real hope, authentic-biblical love, lasting joy and otherworldly peace for our marriage. In the midst of the advent, and holiday season some feel burdened, lost, and without hope—both in their personal lives and in the life of their marriage. We've been there.
It’s often when the night seems the darkest that the light shines brighter! It’s in the darkness of a stable where our Savior was born for the very purpose of bringing real hope to us no matter the circumstance. In him we find all the love, joy, and peace to anchor us in Him!

December 11, 2018 Breaking the Ice During Communication Cold-Snaps
How can we break the ice and let our guard down when everything inside of us wants to hold onto frustration?
Selena and I have experienced PLENTY of “communication cold snaps” in our marriage. A “cold snap” is defined as a “a sudden, brief spell of cold weather.” Things get icy in marriage when bitterness builds up from being hurt, mistreated, or misunderstood over a long period of time. “Cold snaps” happen when we don’t nip communication issues in the bud.
