Knowing the difference, at least, between marriage advocates and marriage adversaries.

Adversaries to our marriage, depending on what they are encouraging us and what they're telling us.

That's somebody who's an actual adversary to your marriage because they are only advocating for you and not your covenant.

Well, what is love? Is love just making sure everybody's

happy all the time? No, love has a definition and it's rooted in God's very nature. And so if you

have a friend who doesn't understand that, they will sometimes think they're loving you by taking

your side. Well, I've been in conversations, though, where it's like, I don't like the husband,

or I don't like what he's done or what he said or how he's acted,

very dishonorable, disrespectful.

And yet I still need to stand in the gap as a Christian and say, yeah, that's hard.

But sometimes as a friend, you can help somebody see things clearly, not just based on your opinion,

but based on God's word.

So that begs the question, what is a Godly friend? So I think maybe the larger, later question that this is raising is, do you have Godly friends?

The fierce marriage. the fierce marriage ecosystem.

Oh, high five.

Yes.

Never avoid the opportunity for a high five.

With your spouse.

Who's kidding?
