In this week’s episode, we discuss the God-given roles within marriage and family and how understanding them builds a strong, Christ-centered home. We unpack what it means for men to lead with strength, integrity, and love, and for women to honor, respect, and support their husbands in ways that foster unity and peace.

We explore:

-Biblical design for marriage roles and how they bring order, trust, and balance.

-The husband’s calling to be steady, trustworthy, a protector, and provider.

-The wife’s calling to encourage, nurture, and embody the virtues of the Proverbs 31 woman.

-Blended family dynamics, emotional stability, and keeping promises as keys to harmony.

-Spiritual protection against cultural and digital influences that threaten the home.

-Partnership in God’s mission, working together as an unstoppable team to advance His Kingdom.

From practical encouragement like uplifting words, small acts of service, and making marriage fun to deeper biblical truths from Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3, this episode is all about cultivating a home where Christ is the priority.

Join us as we explore the beauty, responsibility, and power of embracing the roles God has designed for husbands and wives.

On this week’s episode, Jeff and Becky dive into the importance of unity in your blended family, starting with your marriage.

We’re talking about real unity, not just living under the same roof or high-fiving in the kitchen. This is spiritual, emotional, and practical unity, grounded in God's design for marriage and essential for holding a blended family together.

Unity in a blended family doesn’t happen by accident. It requires intentionality, prayer, shared purpose, and a willingness to grow together — spiritually and practically.

This week on the New Ark Families Podcast, Jeff and Becky pull back the curtain on what they believe is the true secret to a successful marriage. Spoiler alert: it’s not just another marriage tip, it’s the foundational anchor every couple needs.
At the heart of this episode is the truth that Christ must be over all. In marriage, and especially in blended families, our human tendency is to put other things first: ourselves, money, careers, sex, even good things that easily become idols. But when Christ is not in His rightful place, both our marriage and family begin to suffer.
Jeff and Becky share how making Christ the center of their relationship has transformed not only their own marriage but also their perspective on what makes any marriage thrive. This is more than advice, it’s the key to building a marriage that lasts.

Our blended family didn't start off picture-perfect... in fact, it was messy, broken, and falling apart.
