Sex is one of the most misunderstood (and emotionally loaded) parts of marriage.

In this honest, grace-filled conversation, the Grace Marriage Podcast tackles why intimacy can feel confusing, painful, or overwhelming for couples, and why men and women often experience it so differently.

This episode isn’t about pressure or performance. It’s about understanding how God designed intimacy, healing what’s been broken, and learning how to love your spouse in a way that actually brings connection and joy.

If sex has become a source of tension (or even silence) in your marriage, this conversation offers clarity, hope, and a path forward.

Your kids don’t just need your attention...they need your example.

In this episode, Chuck shares how grief, remarriage, and blended-family reality taught him a core principle: the best thing you can do for your children is love your spouse well.

Chuck and Brad unpack why neglected marriages quietly drain parenting, ministry, and joy, how youth sports and busy schedules erase margin, and the simple habits that keep a home healthy: talk daily, date weekly, and fight for grace-filled connection.

What if the very thing God designed to heal and unite your marriage is the thing most couples avoid talking about?

In this episode of the Grace Marriage Podcast, Brad and Marilyn sit down with Belah from Delight Your Marriage for a raw, hope-filled conversation about intimacy, forgiveness, and the habits that either heal or quietly destroy a marriage. Bella shares her personal journey through marital pain, divorce, and restoration, and how God used that story to shape a ministry helping couples learn how to love each other well.

You’ll hear why intimacy is far more than sex, how unresolved pain blocks connection, and why forgiveness is the first step toward lasting change. This episode is both deeply spiritual and incredibly practical...especially for couples who feel stuck, distant, or unsure how to move forward.
