Is CURIOSITY The Secret to a Thriving Marriage?? 🤔


Listen Later

What if one of the most powerful tools for growing your marriage isn’t more date nights or better communication—but curiosity? In this episode, Brad sits down with pastor, performer, and author Drew Worsham to talk about the surprising role curiosity plays in connection, communication, and long-term relational health. From asking better questions to taking small risks, Drew shares the mindset shift that can revive your marriage, deepen your faith, and unlock personal growth in every area of life. Whether you’ve been married 3 years or 30, this conversation will challenge you to stop coasting and start wondering again.

🔑 KEY IDEAS:
• Curiosity is a skill you can rebuild — Most of us lose our natural childhood curiosity over time, but it can be intentionally reignited through better questions and perspective shifts.
• The best marriages are built on questions, not assumptions — When curiosity fades, so does connection. Asking thoughtful questions keeps your spouse from becoming a stranger.
• Curiosity creates emotional intimacy — Deep love comes from deep interest. When we’re genuinely curious about our spouse, they feel seen, valued, and safe.
• Pride and insecurity kill curiosity — When we’re self-absorbed or insecure, we focus on performing rather than connecting. Humility and security make space for genuine curiosity.
• Leadership, discipleship, and marriage all thrive on curiosity — The best pastors, coaches, and spouses lead by being interested—not just interesting.

KEY VERSES:
📖 1 Peter 3:7 - “Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.”
đź“– Psalm 40:1-3 - "I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord."
