What does it really mean to "leave and cleave" in marriage? And how can understanding this biblical principle transform your relationship?

In this episode, we explore the foundational marriage principle from Genesis 2:18-24 about leaving your family of origin and cleaving to your spouse. Drawing from our own early marriage struggles, we discuss how "leaving" isn't just physically moving out—it's emotionally and relationally reprioritizing your spouse above parents, siblings, and even children.

We emphasize that "cleaving" means forming a covenant bond—like spiritual Saran wrap—where spouses become glued together in every area: spiritually, emotionally, relationally, and physically.

We remind you that marriage creates a new family unit requiring effort, humility, and daily commitment—every day saying "I do" again.

What if your marriage is meant to reflect something far bigger than just the two of you? And what if God designed marriage from the very beginning to show the world the love of Jesus?

In Episode 14, we take you on a powerful journey into one of Scripture’s most beautiful and profound themes: the picture of Jesus as the Bridegroom and the church as His Bride. This isn’t just poetic language—it's the blueprint for understanding covenant love, sacrificial commitment, and the divine purpose of marriage.

We unpack how your marriage—whether new or decades old—preaches a message. It tells the world what covenant looks like. It shows your children what faithfulness looks like. And it reflects the love, devotion, and unity that Jesus shares with His people.

This is a conversation filled with awe, challenge, encouragement, and the reminder that marriage is not just about today—it’s about the eternal story it was designed to display.

What do you do when life feels heavier than you can carry? And how do husbands and wives walk through those seasons—biblically, practically, and together?

In this episode, we open up about one of the most universal experiences in marriage: supporting each other when life gets heavy. We unpack what Scripture says about mutual submission, sacrificial love, respectful strength, and the kind of comfort that reflects the heart of God.

We also share personal moments from our journey—including seasons of overwhelm, times of healing, and how leaning into Christ and into each other reshaped their marriage and deepened their unity.

Whether you're in a challenging season or simply wanting to strengthen your marriage, this episode is a gentle but powerful reminder: you’re not failing—it’s just a season. And seasons change.

Lean on each other. Lean on Christ. And let your marriage be the refuge God designed it to be.
