Fierce Marriage

Fighting for Healthy Priorities: Embracing Your Limitations


Listen Later

Keeping healthy priorities are a constant battle for modern marriages. By default we tend to our priorities in life and marriage as linear, or as a list:
* God
* Family
* Others
While this list isn't necessarily bad, we believe there's a better way.
In today's episode of the Fierce Marriage Podcast, we discuss a new way of looking at priorities that has revolutionized our marriage and transformed how we live our lives. We start the conversation by looking at two themes in Scripture:
* Our finitude as humans
* Our call as believers.
Join in as we chip away at this massive truth to be had about priorities in light of the gospel.
Show notes:
* Rapid Fire Q&A: Selena is forced to answer some tough questions... namely, one she never thought she'd have to face.
* Hear one of the most poetic letters from a husband to his wife. (Go to https://fiercemarriage.com/podcast to write and send a letter to your spouse!)
* We discuss priorities:
* Scripture: Matthew 6:33 and Psalm 90:12
* Common problems What's wrong with "The List"
* We propose a better/more integrated model for priorities
* The Couple's Challenge (See below)
* We finished with our Highs & Lows for the week prior.
* Prayer
Today's Couples Challenge:
