Marriage After God

In this episode of Marriage After God we have a little fun at the beginning talking about our favorite family games we enjoy together but only as a segway into the real topic at hand. We discuss 3 very dangerous emotional and manipulative games that are all too common in marriage. The silent treatment, Retaliation/revenge, and word games. These games manifest themselves in many different ways and Jennifer and I had learned to be very good at playing all of them with each other, that is up until God got a hold of our hearts. There is no place for them in a Christian marriage. They should be avoided at all cost otherwise it could cost us a healthy marriage or worse. We haven't perfected the art of avoiding these deadly games but we are way better then we used to be at recognizing them quickly and repent often. If there are any more games that couples should avoid in marriage please let us know in the comments. Also, please share with us your favorite family games.

Sharing intimate and painful parts of our marriage story was not easy at first, but over time we realized our transparency helped other married couples find hope in the fact they are not alone in their marriage struggles, but also hope in how God can restore brokenness in marriage. In this episode of Marriage After God, we share how we met, getting married, those first few hard years, how God walked us through healing from painful sex and pornography, and where we are today. As we share our story we share bits and pieces of encouragement for where other married couples might be at today. Love stories are unique, but every marriage has its good, bad, and ugly. Sharing these stories can be powerful in the lives of others, so we must share them.
