In this episode of Becoming With The Johnsons, Slater and Shaunica share a raw, faith-centered conversation about spiritual warfare in marriage—and how it can quietly target intimacy, unity, trust, and peace inside the home.

We discuss how spiritual attacks often hide behind “normal” conflict, unhealed trauma, and survival patterns that feel justified in the moment. From inner vows formed in childhood to Jezebel-like tactics such as control, manipulation, and false doctrine, we unpack how the enemy tries to divide what God joined together—and what it looks like to fight back with truth, repentance, prayer, and healing.

This episode includes:

• How childhood trauma and inner vows can open doors later in marriage
• Recognizing controlling/manipulative cycles without shame—so healing can start
• Protecting the marriage bed and restoring intimacy through unity and prayer
• A candid discussion about pornography, secrecy, and choosing freedom
• How spiritual strongholds can affect finances and keep couples stuck in cycles
• Applying truth (not “false grace”) to God’s design for sex and covenant

If you’ve felt spiritual heaviness, recurring patterns, or confusion around intimacy, this conversation will help you discern the root and take steps toward freedom—with God at the center.
