Summary
What if your stand for marriage isn’t as Godly as you think?Many spouses believe they’re standing in faith, waiting for God to restore their marriage—praying, repenting, and holding on. But what if faith alone isn’t enough? What if your stand has become an idol? What if your obedience is incomplete?In this episode, we’re breaking down the hidden dangers of standing for your marriage the wrong way. We’ll expose false stands that look spiritual but are actually rooted in disobedience, fear, and self-preservation. We’ll walk through biblical examples of people who thought they were following God but were actually resisting His will—and how to avoid making the same mistakes in your marriage restoration journey.This is the season of faithful standing—the kind that produces real fruit. But that requires more than hope. It requires action. It requires obedience. It requires truth.⚡ If you're serious about standing the right way, join the Marriage Revival Hub now at MarriageRevivalHub.com.

| 0:00.0 | What is going on, everybody. Derek Pousa here and welcome back to another session of the established family podcast. |
| 0:06.1 | What's going on to the YouTube audience who already knows what's going on? My wife is here for season two of the podcast. |
| 0:12.7 | And if I had to give it a theme for this entire series of episodes and sessions that we're going to do here, it's likely going to be around the idea |
| 0:21.3 | of standing well because we recognize as the community has expanded and we're going to give |
| 0:27.1 | you a couple updates of the things that have happened in the recent months that there's a lot |
| 0:31.3 | of questions around standing and how to do it well, how to do it righteously and upright. |
| 0:36.9 | And a lot of people are asking themselves, should I even really stand for my marriage? |
| 0:40.9 | Or how do I know when enough is enough, right? |
| 0:43.8 | What are my limits? |
| 0:44.7 | What are my boundaries? |
| 0:45.8 | Does God want me to stand from my marriage when, comma, fill in the blank has happened, right? |
| 0:50.7 | Or is God punishing my spouse and I for not even starting the right way? And ultimately, |
| 0:55.9 | we get to a place to where marriage feels like it is a trap. So this is going to be the theme or the |

| 1:07.7 | what's up to everybody before we actually happen. All right. |
| 1:11.1 | Well, it is an honor to be on this second season of the podcast. |
| 1:17.1 | And I'm really looking forward to this season specifically because I think it is really important to understand what it takes to stand well, what standing well looks like, what it |
| 1:29.5 | doesn't look like, and how we often think we are already standing well and realizing that it's |
| 1:36.3 | our blindness, our unwillingness, things that we haven't considered before. So I'm grateful to be able to speak into these matters |
| 1:46.1 | and bringing to light what it takes to actually stand well for our marriage, not just in this season, |
| 1:53.8 | but for the remainder of your life for as long as you have breath in your lungs. So I am ready to begin. |
| 2:02.4 | Yeah, let's hop in because a lot has changed since we were with y'all last on the podcast |
