We sit down with Clayton and Ashley Hurst, marriage pastors at Lakewood Church (Houston, Texas), to trace their path from pride and pain to a practical, hope-filled marriage built on humility, daily devotions, and community. Their story offers clear plays you can run today to rebuild trust, safety, and unity.

• Skipping premarital counseling and the slow slide into hopelessness
• The question that sparked humility and a new start
• Daily non-negotiables of honor, respect, and security
• Vulnerability, open devices, and safe conversations
• Reading the Bible together and renewing the mind
• Planning before conflict and fighting as a team
• Processing grief, seeking counseling, and showing grace
• Finding mentors, joining groups, and avoiding isolation
