The enemy's strategy against marriage hasn't changed since the Garden of Eden.

In this powerful episode of Covenant Army Marriage, Brent and Lucy expose the enemy's oldest battle plan against husbands and wives and reveal how the same three temptations used against Eve and Jesus are still being used to attack marriages today: the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.

Discover how these hidden attacks often show up as arguments, distance, bitterness, pornography, comparison, control, and selfishness, and learn why many couples spend years fighting symptoms while missing the real source of the battle.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why the enemy targets marriage so aggressively

• How comparison quietly destroys covenant

• Why pride is one of the most dangerous forces in a relationship

• How Jesus defeated temptation and what that means for your marriage

• Practical battle strategies to protect and strengthen your covenant

• Why couples who pray, fast, and stay in God's Word together become difficult to divide

This is more than a marriage conversation. It's a spiritual battle plan. If you're ready to stop fighting each other and start fighting for your covenant together, this episode will encourage, challenge, and equip you to stand shoulder to shoulder against the real enemy.

What God has joined together, the enemy wants to separate. But in Christ, husband and wife can fight as one and walk in victory.

🎧 Listen now and discover how to recognize the enemy's schemes, protect your marriage, and fight for the covenant God has entrusted to you.
