🎙️ 42 Years Strong — The Secrets to Building a Marriage That Lasts

What does it take to build a marriage that stands the test of time — through addiction, recovery, dreams, disappointments, and God’s redemption? In this powerful Marriage Monthly episode, Gabe and Alyssa sit down with Steve and Julia Jordan, who share their 42-year journey of building a life together.

From meeting at age 8, to surviving deep valleys of bitterness and alcoholism, to seeing God restore their relationship and bless them with a dream home they now use for ministry — this conversation is filled with real, hard-earned wisdom for couples in every season.


Discover:

  • Why keeping Jesus at the center changes everything
  • How to survive and heal after deep wounds in marriage
  • The role of forgiveness — for your spouse and yourself
  • How your greatest trials can become your greatest ministry
  • The story of building a dream home as a couple and using it for God’s purposes

Steve and Julia’s testimony is living proof that surrender, humility, and faith can turn the hardest chapters into the most beautiful stories.
