Summary

Everyone knows marriage has incredible highs and very frustrating (and difficult) lows. In today's episode, we shared how we've been in a prolonged "funk" lately but have found a path forward through prayer. Listen in as we discuss the miracle of prayer for believers and practical ways you can make praying a part of your ongoing battle strategy in your fight for a God-honoring, flourishing marriage.

We would be connecting and then we would be fighting and then all of a sudden we would be good and then we'd be fighting again. Yeah. So it felt fragile. I don't think it's as much.
