Marriage thrives when two people stay connected through every season, however, spouses often use physical intimacy as a tool to control each other. This is a habit that hurts the bond of the family. Learn how to protect your home from these common traps as Alicia and Nicole look to the Bible to find a path to peace and to help build a marriage that will last for a lifetime.

Noting that becoming one flesh involves more than a simple physical act, our hosts talk about the roles of the husband and the wife. Their sage advice? Use prayer to fix the broken bond of a marriage, stop keeping a score of past wrongs, and put God first in your relationship every day.

🎯 The Marriage Guard [06:27]:

"If you're not getting your needs met in your relationship, you're going to get them met somewhere else or somebody else is going to try to."

Sin thrives in a cold marriage. Stop the enemy from entering your home by meeting the needs of your spouse.

✨ THE PROSPEROUS PLAN [27:32]

"I promise you, it doesn't matter what you've done or what you're going to do…God's plans for your life are huge and of love and of prosperity. And there's all of these things that you can tap into."

You were made for a life of joy. Find the path to a life of love by remembering your worth in God.

⚡ THE PRAYER BLOCK [42:10]

"Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life. Treat her as you should so your prayers will not be hindered."

Honor your spouse and open your prayers. Fix the rift in your home so that your spiritual life can grow.
