Marriage doesn't drift toward strength — it drifts toward survival.

In this episode of Stand Firm Parents, Jake sits down with Jamie and Lisa Castro, married for over 45 years, to explore why shared purpose is essential for a thriving marriage.

Drawing from decades of experience mentoring couples and hosting intimate marriage retreats, the Castros explain why couples must define a shared vision instead of simply reacting to life. A marriage without purpose slowly drifts. A marriage with purpose aligns, grows, and endures.

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation focused on the why behind purposeful marriage. In Part 2, they'll unpack practical tools for building and living out that vision together.

If you want your marriage to move from maintenance to mission, this episode sets the foundation.
