Ryan and Selena offer real Biblical marriage advice in a very down to earth way. They're open about their own marriage, which makes it seem like they're walking alongside us, claiming the Gospel truths themselves while pointing is to Christ and the cross. This podcast had been such a blessing to my marriage and I'm so thankful for it!

Faith, Fear and Marriage is the first episode I'm listening to and I feel compelled to say at least in this episode I'm noticing the man makes a lot of subtle digs at his wife, from highlighting her issues with pride, to being annoyed at her example of giving birth to correcting her multiple times and even making a side remark when she said she had read Job the previous year. I felt like he put her down subtly while not acknowledging his own flaws or uplifting her positive remarks other than a nod. I'm sure this is absolutely encouraging for so many, but I hesitate to jump blindly into agreement without my own discernment. Will listen to more though, I know I can always grow with more knowledge and more perspectives!

Selena, your story resonated wth me so much and brought me to tears... in a good way if that makes sense. Because I relate to it and it helps me feel less alone. I am so grateful to have found your podcast. My husband and I were on the verge of divorce. By the grace of God, we have committed to repair and reestablish with one another. I am grateful to you and Ryan serving in this capacity to mentor and advocate for others in the name of the Lord. Thank you and God bless ❤.

I am in my second marriage. we have problems but we are so in love after 10.5 years. My first marriage was horrible! my ex husband was very abusive physically and verbally...just in every single way. I feel that my marriage now is blessed and yet some people disagree with my divorce and remarriage. What are your thoughts?

communication has definitely been the main issue in my marriage. What my husband and I have been doing recently which really helps is leaving the room, sitting by ourselves, and texting each other. It keeps us from yelling and getting heated, and it gives us time to think out what we want to say and how we say it before we respond. We have found we get cooled down faster and are able to communicate a little better this way.
