Healing Through Grief, Removing Masks, Finding Wholehearted Love - w/ Caleb & Stefanie Rouse

In today's episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron interviews Caleb and Stefanie Rouse, authors of "Wholehearted Love" and founders of a thriving relationship ministry. After walking through personal transformations, career shifts, and profound loss, the Rouses now help couples discover how to love with their whole hearts by addressing the masks and pain that prevent genuine connection.

In this vulnerable conversation, we explore:

• How past wounds create masks that block our ability to love others wholeheartedly
• The powerful journey of grieving the loss of their twin boys while simultaneously writing a book about wholehearted love
• Why bringing our pain to God instead of hiding behind masks leads to healing and freedom
• The importance of celebrating life at every stage, even after pregnancy loss
• How stretching our "obedience muscles" transforms our relationship with God and others
• The transformative practice of daily prayer for your spouse and its impact on marriage
• Why helping singles and pre-married couples creates maximum impact for future marriages
• How to discern when God is calling you to surrender comfortable paths for greater purpose

Whether you're healing from past wounds, navigating grief in your marriage, struggling with identity, or simply wanting to love more wholeheartedly, this conversation offers biblical wisdom and practical insights for removing masks and embracing genuine connection with God and your spouse.
