Culture treats marriage like a performance evaluation. Scripture treats it like a covenant stewardship. In this episode, we're diving into what the Bible actually says about managing something sacred that doesn't belong to us, it belongs to God.

We cover:

• The theological foundation of marriage in Ephesians 5:21-33
• What mutual submission actually means (and what it doesn't)
• Serving your spouse as an act of worship, not weakness
• Why communication and intimacy are more connected than we think
• Forgiveness as a non-negotiable, not an option
• How to stay spiritually connected as a couple
• Why healthy marriages don't happen accidentally, they're cultivated

Plus reflection questions throughout to help you actually apply this, not just absorb it.
