In this episode, we discuss the Biblical grounds for divorce.

We open Scripture to explore when divorce is biblically permitted and how God’s heart aims to protect people, not trap them in harm. We unpack adultery, abandonment, and abuse with care, then point to humility, repentance, and real-world steps toward safety, healing, and peace.

• scriptural grounds for divorce: adultery, abandonment, abuse
• Jesus’ correction of casual divorce in Matthew 19
• heart-level adultery and emotional affairs
• trust, identity, and the cost of betrayal
• modern abandonment: addiction, apathy, hardened refusal to repent
• naming abuse across physical, verbal, emotional, spiritual, and financial forms
• humility as a pathway to repair or release
• hope for restoration and the call to pursue peace
• prayer for strong, faithful, Christ-centered marriages


Biblical Scriptures mentioned in this episode:

Matthew 19:9

Matthew 5:28

1 Corinthians 7:15

In our new series, "Defeating Divorce," we start off by asking WHY Christian couples get divorced? 

We open the season’s toughest theme with honesty and hope, asking why Christian couples still end up divorced and how to push back with faith, rhythm, and practical tools. We share our no “D-word” rule, our hardest years, and a path to rebuild identity, intimacy, and unity.

• loss of connection through selfish focus and unacknowledged effort
• boredom and busyness replacing curiosity, play and purpose
• missing spiritual foundation and misaligned expectations of leadership
• identity loss after marriage and parenting reducing clarity of needs
• practical rhythms of rest, Sabbath and boundaries during holidays
• fruit of the Spirit as lived practice, not slogan
• two perspectives—child of divorce and child of reconciliation—forming one toolkit
• encouragement, prayer and resources for couples on the brink

In our final episode of the Temptations series, we talk about how to guard our marriage against temptation. We unpack how temptation seeds itself in thoughts and desires, grows through secrecy and isolation, and fractures trust when left in the dark. We offer practical ways to confess early, involve church community, use Scripture as sword and shield, and remember the real enemy isn’t your spouse.

• guarding mind and heart from early temptation
• moving from look to secret and how it escalates
• revenge, temptation, and the boomerang harm
• shame and pride as engines of secrecy
• confessing early and inviting accountability
• using sword and shield verses to fight back
• church community as protection against isolation
• choosing obedience to Christ over reflexive anger
• reframing covenant marriage and shared purpose
• practical steps to rebuild trust and unity

📖 Every Man's Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time*

For those living in the US, we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! And for everyone everywhere, we are thankful and blessed that you decided to share your time and hearts with us. Love By Faith, y'all!

We confront the real reasons why couples are tempted to skip church and offer honest, practical ways to rebuild trust, rhythm, and community without pretending church is perfect. From burnout and offense to pride and preference, we point back to grace, ownership, and shared responsibility.

• why church exists as a body, not an event
• healthy vs emotionally unhealthy church cultures
• who leads the family to church and why it’s shared
• seasons of weakness and how to cover a spouse
• offense, burnout, and serving from an empty cup
• the limits of Sunday-only relationships
• petty but real preferences about worship and teaching
• discernment vs cynicism when judging hypocrisy
• how to show up ready to serve and connect
• simple questions that spark real community
• building weekly practices that make Sunday overflow

If skipping church is something that you (or your partner, or both!) are struggling with, we encourage you to take advantage of our latest FREE download within the LOVE BY FAITH COUPLE'S PLAYBOOK! 

Asking how to spiritually connect and how to lovingly serve can both become a catalyst for the return of a church setting in your relationship or the start of one.

We open season three by naming a quiet truth: couples are tempted to look away... from each other and from God. We map where that drift starts, why it feels good in the moment, and how to turn attention back to covenant, accountability, and hope.

• returning from break and finding a healthy rhythm
• new monthly series focuses on temptation
• defining “the temptation to look” beyond wandering eyes
• women’s escapes through venting, wine, and gossip
• safe counsel that points back to God and marriage
• men’s visual triggers and reflexes explained
• distraction loops: sports, screens, man cave, obsessive hobbies
• the danger of work spouses and misplaced respect
• porn and “spicy media” as intimacy replacements
• practical guardrails: accountability, tech limits, shared rituals
• coping with Christ instead of idols
• prayer for honesty, change, and closeness to God

We have a very SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT for you!

The countdown is on, and we’re stepping back to the mic with a promise: Season 3 of Love by Faith lands on November 4th! And our first series of the new season is designed to spark honest, growth-focused conversations that couples actually want to have. 

We’ve been building behind the scenes for months—resting, refueling, and reshaping the way we serve you—so we can bring more clarity, more courage, and more practical help right where you live.

We talk through what’s new and what stays the same: the same energy, the same intentionality, and the same core commitment to keep Christ at the center of your relationship. Expect guided prompts you can use the moment the episode ends, short rituals that fit busy schedules, and frameworks for talking about money, communication, ministry boundaries, family planning, and spiritual connection. 

To help you prepare, grab our completely free Love by Faith Couples Playbook using the link in the description. It’s already packed with conversation guides, budget templates, prayer rhythms, and conflict repair steps, and we’re adding fresh resources as we launch Season 3. 

Charge your device, cue up November 4, and meet us ready to participate—not as passive listeners, but as partners choosing daily to love by faith. 

If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review to help others find the show.
