Episode notes
Marriage Is Team Warfare
- Your spouse is not your enemy; Satan wants to turn marriage into man versus wife.
- Fight together against the division, not against each other, to protect unity.
Build Marriage From The Ground Up
- Build a foundation: first be Christians, then friends, then lovers to prevent many conflicts.
- Strengthening daily Christian service and friendship reduces spouse-level fights.
Respond, Don’t React
- Respond, don't react: pause to think, pray, and then discuss with self-control and respect.
- Avoid emotional manipulation; speak plainly and own your actions.
