Summary

We all have opponents in our marriage that fight against marital intimacy. These can be both good (kids, a move) and bad (job loss, financial difficulty) things. The problem is when we fail to name the opponent, we too often make our spouse out to be the opponent.

In this episode, Josh and Christi break down chapter 7 in their new book, Famous at Home. They talk about the power in having an "us against the world" attitude with your spouse, and discuss 4 action steps to move up the marriage intimacy scale. The question you're left with is: "What are you fighting for?"
