What if the greatest source of hope for your struggling marriage isn't found in your spouse... but in your relationship with God? In this powerful episode, we dive into Value #1 of lasting marriage: A Love of God (Mark 12:30). Discover why this isn't just a spiritual ideal—it's the lifeline for couples who've hit rock bottom.

You'll learn:

• Why changing for your spouse often fails (and who you should be changing for instead)
• The surprising truth: When all human love feels gone, there's still hope if this one value is present
• How your marriage is a direct reflection of your relationship with God (Ephesians 5:22-33)
• Why religious guilt ("God hates divorce") destroys marriages—and what fuels true transformation
• The critical question: "Can you only love your spouse as much as you love God?"
• What to do when one spouse loves God deeply and the other doesn't (1 Cor 7:12-14)

We tackle raw realities: resentment, bitterness, defensiveness, and the lie that divorce is the only option. You’ll discover how surrendering to God empowers you to:

• Drop judgmentalism. 
• Bite back sarcasm. 
• Listen without defensiveness. 
• Take ownership of unresolved hurts. 

PLUS: 4 Practical Ways to Cultivate This Value:

1. Pray together
2. Read Scripture together
3. Worship together
4. Serve together

If your marriage feels limited by human effort, this episode reveals the divine reset button: "Lose your life to Him, and you will gain it." Stop trying to fix your relationship out of your own limitations—discover the power that redeems hopeless situations.
