Today on the Marriage After God podcast, we talk about why forgiveness is essential to a thriving marriage. We explore what biblical forgiveness really is — and what it isn’t — and why withholding forgiveness quietly builds walls between spouses. We share how humility, repentance, and grace work together to bring healing and restore intimacy. Our hope is to encourage every couple to practice forgiveness as a daily reflection of God’s mercy toward us.

In this episode-

• Forgiveness is vital for a healthy, lasting marriage.
• Forgiveness does not excuse sin — it releases the debt.
• God’s grace empowers us to forgive what feels impossible.
• Humility and repentance open the door to reconciliation.
• Withholding forgiveness creates distance and division.

In this episode, we talk about the importance of putting on the armor of God and how it impacts our daily lives and marriages. Scripture reminds us that our battle is not against each other, but against spiritual forces of darkness, which means we need God’s strength, His truth, and His righteousness to stand firm.

We walk through several pieces of the armor—like the belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, and the shoes of the gospel of peace—and discuss what they practically look like in a Christian marriage. When we anchor ourselves in truth, guard our hearts with righteousness, and cling to the peace that comes from the gospel, we are better equipped to resist temptation, overcome fear, and cultivate unity in our relationship.

Our hope is to remind couples that God has already given us everything we need to stand strong—we simply need to put it on daily.

In this episode-

• The armor of God is essential for spiritual protection in marriage.
• Each piece has a purpose—and understanding that purpose helps us stand firm.
• We must rely on God’s strength, not our own.
• Truth fosters unity, vulnerability, and trust in marriage.
• Putting on God’s armor daily helps us build a Christ-centered marriage.
