  1. Number 1: Building a Marriage That Thrives with Jimmy & Kim Witcher

    When Pastor Jimmy Witcher, CEO of XO Marriage, and his wife Kim hit their fifth year of marriage, they had drifted so far apart that Kim planned to leave. But on a 13-hour flight overseas, God met Jimmy with a hard truth – and everything changed. In this episode, the Witchers share how humility, ownership, and turning to God rebuilt their marriage, and the everyday habits that keep them thriving 42 years later: making daily "exclusive relational connection time," treating fun as fuel, and learning to play at marriage instead of just working at it. It's a powerful reminder that no matter how broken things feel, your marriage has a 100% chance of thriving when you do it God's way. Listener question: My husband is a born-again Christian but refuses to pray with me. We pray at meals with our kids, but never as a couple. I've brought it up several times. We even took a Sunday school class on couples praying together, but nothing has changed. We're in a stressful home and a stressful financial season and working on communication. I grew up in a church family; he didn't. How do I respectfully encourage him to lead us in prayer?

  3. Number 3: Is a Sexless Marriage Common?

    Many couples find themselves in a sexless marriage, but it often doesn't happen overnight. Here's the hard reality: if you don't have a medical reason for withholding sex from your spouse, you may be unknowingly starving your marriage. Sex is what separates a friendship from a marriage, and both of you have a responsibility to protect that intimacy and seek solutions together during difficult seasons. God gave us this special gift for a reason; let's honor it. _______________ We want your marriage to thrive!

  5. Number 5: Loving Difficult People: Boundaries, Narcissism & More with Debra Fileta

    Every relationship faces rupture — but the skill of repair is getting lost. Counselor and author Debra Fileta joins Dave and Ashley to talk about her new book People Skills and why loving difficult people well is one of the most important things we can do. She unpacks the rise of "cut-off culture," why we're too quick to label people narcissists, how to set boundaries that actually invite health, and the four levels of conversation that determine whether you feel truly connected in your marriage. Whether it's a spouse, a family member, or a coworker, this episode will help you love the difficult people in your life the way God loves us. Listener question: I feel like a roommate with my wife! Married 20 years with a 16, 14 and 9 year old and feeling emotionally, spiritually and physically disconnected. I’ve been patient since having kids spending years alone in the bedroom while she nursed, hoping our relationship would strengthen as the kids got older but it hasn’t. We’ve talked a few times and I’ve shared books, podcasts, date night lists but can’t get her to prioritize us. I’m slowly giving up and finding peace in solitude but am worried we’re headed to a place where we can’t come back from, and shared that worry. Any ideas on next steps?
