Summary

Marriage is amazing—but it can also be really hard. Pastor Josh and Jana Howerton sit down with Pastor Josh and Sharon McPherson of Grace City Church for an honest, unfiltered conversation about what makes marriages thrive (and what can tear them apart). They break down biblical truths about leaving and cleaving, headship and submission, and what it looks like to lead and support each other well. Plus, they get into the tough stuff—setting boundaries with in-laws, handling emotions, and why so many couples struggle in the same areas. Whether you’re newly married or years in, this conversation is packed with wisdom and honesty you won’t want to miss. 👇 DON’T MISS OUT! 💍 Marriage Weekend Bonus Resources: Everything you need for a stronger marriage—real conversations, fun date night questions and practical tools to grow together: https://lakepointe.church/marriage-weekend-resources/ 📣 Join us for Movement on Friday, February 28—an evening to celebrate all you do and hear from special guest, Pastor Joby Martin.
