In this episode of our podcast, the Hope Relentless Marriage Podcast, my husband Chad and I delve into the crucial role of serving within a marriage. We emphasize that serving goes beyond mere tasks; it's a profound expression of love and kindness towards each other. Throughout our conversation, we highlight how acts of service can deeply impact the atmosphere of a marriage, creating a space of vulnerability, freedom, and love.
We candidly address common fears and misconceptions surrounding serving, such as feeling like a doormat or being taken advantage of. We stress the importance of serving with a pure heart, rooted in a deep understanding of our own worth and identity.
Chad and I openly share the challenges we've faced in prioritizing serving within our own marriage, including battling selfish tendencies and the temptation to keep score. Nevertheless, we passionately advocate for serving unconditionally, even when it's difficult, recognizing its transformative potential over time.
We encourage our listeners to reflect on what might be holding them back from serving their spouse and to take intentional steps towards service. We highlight the profound impact serving can have not only on the marital relationship but also on children who observe and learn from their parents' example.
Our episode concludes on a heartfelt note with a segment of appreciation, where Chad and I express gratitude for each other's acts of service within our marriage, reinforcing the importance of showing appreciation and cultivating a positive atmosphere in our relationship.
Overall, this episode serves as a beacon of hope and encouragement, inspiring listeners to embrace the transformative power of serving within their marriages and nurturing the potential for a flourishing relationship.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
