Your childhood may be affecting your marriage more than you realize.

The way you handle conflict, intimacy, communication, trust, affection, and even stress may have less to do with your spouse… and more to do with what you experienced growing up.

In this episode of Greater Marriage, we talk about the invisible patterns many of us carry into marriage without even knowing it. The things we saw, heard, normalized, feared, survived, or learned as children often become the foundation for how we love as adults.

But here’s the good news: you are not doomed to repeat unhealthy cycles.

God brings healing, renewal, and hope to the places that shaped us most deeply.

This conversation is honest, practical, Biblical, and one that every married couple needs to hear.

In this episode, we share a simple daily habit that changed everything for us! A 10-minute check-in designed to keep you and your spouse aligned, connected, and intentional.

Money fights are one of the most common sources of tension in marriage but most of the time, it’s not really about the dollars. Beneath the surface are unspoken fears, different priorities, and a lack of shared clarity.

In this episode of the Greater Marriage Podcast, we talk about how to move from financial conflict to financial unity.

As Matthew 6:21 reminds us, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” When couples understand what’s driving their financial decisions, repeated fights can become meaningful, productive conversations.

Stopping money fights isn’t about eliminating every disagreement, it’s about understanding each other, committing to shared goals, and communicating with clarity so your finances strengthen your marriage instead of straining it.

What if the biggest threat to your marriage isn’t a massive blow-up…but a quiet thought you never challenged?

In this episode of Greater Marriage, we unpack how the enemy doesn’t usually kick the door down, he pulls up a chair. And if we’re not careful, we give lies, outside opinions, resentment, insecurity, and even pride a permanent seat at the table of our marriage.

Inspired by Don’t Give the Enemy a Seat at Your Table by Louie Giglio, we’re talking about:
Why the table is a place of intimacy and influence
How the enemy always starts with a single thought
The danger of giving the wrong voices authority in your marriage
Who should (and shouldn’t) get a seat at your table
Why Jesus must be seated at the head
