Episode 005 of The Household Reformation Podcast is live.

Not every season of marriage feels like a victory march. Some feel like crawling through fog.

In Part 2 of our marriage series, we step into the trenches—where the dishes pile up, the bank account dips low, the grief is quiet, and the kids won’t stop crying. This is where covenant gets tested, and where quiet faithfulness builds what grand gestures never could.

In this episode, we cover:

The Hard Years: What to do when intimacy fades and suffering hits

Quiet Faithfulness: Why the daily grind matters more than the highlight reel

A Charge to Men and Women: What it looks like to guard your post, even when you’re tired

We talk infertility, fatigue, repentance, headship, respect, and the glorious, ordinary obedience that builds households heaven sees—even if no one else does.

Husbands: You are the first to rise and the last to give up.

Wives: You are builders, not bystanders. Your household is your headquarters.

Don’t abandon your post!

Extra: Share your marriage story or questions in the comments—we’re planning a future Q&A episode on biblical marriage and want to hear from you.
