Light Talks with 922 Ministries

Marriage Matters: Awkward, Intimate & Worth It | Pt. 2


Listen Later

We’re back with part two of a real and raw conversation about marriage—and it’s time to go even deeper. In this continued conversation on Light Talks, Dr. Brandon Steenbock helps us unpack what it really takes to stay connected when life gets busy, messy, and, let’s be honest—just plain hard. From awkward conversations to intimacy in marriage, this episode is full of practical wisdom, honest laughs, and biblical truth that will challenge and encourage you to pursue real connection with your spouse.


Here’s what Part 2 of this conversation has in store: 

  • When Marriage Feels Like Roommates: Let’s talk about why vulnerability is hard—and how practicing small daily conversations can re-open the door to closeness.
  • Intentionality is Everything: From deli-date nights to walks around the block, discover creative ways to invest in your relationship without breaking the bank or your schedule.
  • More Than Romance: We explore why emotional and physical intimacy matter and how they work together to strengthen trust and connection.
  • Let’s Talk About Sex: We break the silence and explore why God designed sex to be good, meaningful, and spiritually significant within marriage.
  • The Commitment Triangle: Learn how passion, intimacy, and commitment intersect—and what to focus on when the spark starts to fade.
  • Spiritual Leadership at Home: Sometimes praying together can feel awkward at first, so let’s explore how couples can build a habit of spiritual connection, even when they’re starting from scratch.
  • Help, He Won’t Lead!: Here’s some encouragement for wives navigating spiritual leadership challenges, plus a perspective on what it means to be a "suitable helper."
  • The Power of Showing Up: Whether it’s holding hands, sitting together in silence, or opening the Bible as a team—small actions can have a big impact when done with love and purpose.

Tune in to another episode of Light Talks that doesn’t shy away from hard topics in hopes that couples will be encouraged, challenged, and equipped to keep choosing each other—every single day.
