Hi friend,

Marriage drift doesn’t happen all at once—it happens quietly.

In this first episode of the CourageoUS Love Challenge, David shares the moment that brought the quiet drift in his marriage into focus—and the courageous choice that changed the direction of his home.

This episode kicks off an 8-week podcast journey designed to help you reset your marriage and reconnect with your spouse through one episode and one courageous action each week.

If you’ve felt more like roommates than partners, overwhelmed by life’s pressures, or unsure where to even begin, this is your starting point.

One episode.

Start here—then join us each week for the next courageous step.

Hi friend,

The men who came to David were united, disciplined, and brought provision—support that strengthened the mission. Marriage needs that too: unity, boundaries, and a wise support system. In this episode, we talk about building a “marriage circle” that protects connection: mentors, friends, family boundaries, spiritual covering, and practical supports that reduce load. You’ll learn how to fight the real enemy together and strengthen connection and stability in your home.

Hi friend,

The sons of Issachar were known for understanding the times and knowing what to do. Many couples don’t fail from lack of love—they struggle because they misread their season. In this episode, you'll uncover your current season  (parenting, grief, relocation, rebuilding trust, burnout, financial pressure) and adjust expectations and strategies accordingly. You’ll get a simple “season check-in” framework to reduce tension and increase teamwork.

Hi friend,

David’s supporters weren’t only loyal—they were trained, ready, and dependable. What if your marriage didn’t just need more love, but better skills? In this episode, we connect 1 Chronicles 11–12 to practical marriage tools: healthy communication, repair after conflict, emotional regulation, and daily rhythms that keep love steady. You’ll learn how to “train for connection” so your home feels safer, warmer, and more united—even during stressful weeks.

Hi friend, 

When marriage feels distant, it’s easy to withdraw, keep score, or assume the worst. In 1 Chronicles 11–12, people supported David before his story looked “successful.” In this episode, we translate that kind of loyalty into marriage: what it looks like to stay emotionally present, speak with honor, and keep choosing connection even when feelings are low. You’ll leave with simple ways to rebuild safety and closeness—one faithful moment at a time.

Hi friend!

As we move through different seasons of marriage and life, it’s easy to find yourself focusing more on what’s not working than on what is—especially when responsibilities increase, and challenges arise. Over time, this pattern can slowly influence the atmosphere of your home, your mindset, and even the direction your marriage is heading.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about one powerful habit that can help shift this pattern. It’s a simple, intentional practice that has the potential to change how you think, how you relate to your spouse, and how you experience your marriage—even during difficult seasons.

So how can one habit make such a meaningful difference?

Tune in to listen and find out more!

We hope this episode blesses you.

Hi friend, 

If you’ve been married for a while, you already know this truth: staying connected as a couple goes far beyond paying the bills, keeping the home running, or juggling everyday responsibilities. And yes, these are important. But if you’re longing for more intimacy, emotional closeness, and unity in your marriage, one powerful choice you can make today is to partner with God and take courageous steps in your marriage—even when it feels uncomfortable or in the absence of immediate gratification.

Whether you’re walking through a challenging season or simply hoping to strengthen the bond you already share, this episode offers gentle, biblical encouragement to help you move toward a more connected, God-centered marriage.

We pray this episode blesses you:)
