About this episode
There will always be a reason not to invest in your marriage.
In this episode, Brad Rhoads and Jeremy Bennett talk about why couples often drift away from intentional marriage investment, especially during busy seasons. They discuss how work, kids, sports, chores, church activities, and general exhaustion can slowly squeeze out the most important human relationship in the home.
Brad and Jeremy challenge couples and church leaders to stop treating marriage as something that will work on autopilot and start making consistent, intentional investment a non-negotiable rhythm.
