Summary

We all seek to find our life purpose. But have you ever thought about your marital purpose? The purpose God has for your marriage? He has one for you--but it may not be for what you think.

In this episode, we talk with Ryan and Selena Frederick from Fierce Marriage about how your marriage is designed to bring God glory. But what does that mean? And how can we do that, especially in an age of confusion?

Ryan and Selena break down what it means to be transparent in marriage and cover such topics as:

* Exposing ourselves to meaningful risk
* How to have a "see through" mentality
* What it means to be vulnerable with one another
* Why self-discovery is crucial for transparency
* To be "unoffendable"
