Summary

🌊⚓ What does it really take to stay connected after decades of marriage - through storms, trauma, transitions, and everything in between? In this conversation, Rev. Charles and Stacey Robinette share hard-earned wisdom from over 30 years of marriage, unpacking why love isn’t about smooth sailing but about learning how to row together when the waves hit. They open up about healing from past wounds, carrying each other through uneven seasons, and what it actually looks like to let Jesus lead your marriage - not just be invited aboard.
