Are you building a life together, or just surviving the day-to-day? In this episode of The Weaponized Marriage Podcast, we wrestle with a question that hit us hard after witnessing Erica Kirk speak just days after the tragic loss of her husband, Turning Point USA’s chief operating officer. Her strength, faith, and clarity of purpose left us both shaken and inspired. It led us to ask: If something happened to your spouse tomorrow, would you know how to carry their mission forward?

We start off with a conversation about parenting struggles, the pressure to keep up with other families, and why a simple paint-by-number moment ended up revealing something much deeper about creating connection, not consuming stuff. But then the heart of this episode unfolds as we reflect on the unexpected gift of hearing a widow declare that her husband’s mission will not only continue, it will grow stronger.

This episode is a wake-up call: to start talking about what really matters. We dig into the importance of having a mission for your marriage, for your family, and for your own life, and what to do if you're not sure what that is yet.

Key Takeaways:

Your marriage needs a mission as much as your business does.

Start asking: What do I stand for? What do we stand for?

Consuming isn’t the goal, creating is.

Your kids don’t need more activities, they need more connection.

You can’t wait for tragedy to figure out what really matters.
