Our First Year of Christian Marriage: What Marriage Has Taught Us | EP17

In this episode, we reflect on our first year of Christian marriage—the lessons we've learned, the struggles we've faced, and how keeping God at the center has strengthened our relationship. We discuss first-year marriage struggles, the importance of spending time with God in marriage, and how spiritual warfare in marriage can challenge couples. From learning to love our spouse the way they want to be loved to navigating the role of prayer, we share real insights into building a God-centered relationship. Keeping faith strong in marriage is essential, and we explore how a God-honoring marriage requires intentionality, prayer, and trust in Him
