How to Protect Your Marriage in a Busy Season

Is your marriage getting your best time...or just what’s left over?

In this episode, Brad sits down with Nick and Christen Mingione, a Division I SEC baseball coach and his wife, to talk about what it really takes to protect your marriage in the middle of a demanding, high-pressure career.

From weekly date nights to setting boundaries with work, from learning the hard way about phone calls and distractions to modeling marriage for athletes and their own son, this conversation is honest, practical, and deeply encouraging.

You’ll hear why:
• “When you say yes to something, you say no to something else.”
• Time is one of the greatest gifts you can give your spouse.
• You must set boundaries before the demands of life set them for you.
• A strong marriage doesn’t happen accidentally—it’s intentional.
• What your kids (and players) catch from you matters more than what you teach them.

If you’ve ever said, “We’re just too busy right now,” this episode will lovingly challenge and equip you to rethink what really matters.
