In today’s episode, I sit down with my friend Alisa to talk about how one quiet moment in her garage changed everything. At a time when her marriage felt distant and disconnected, God met her with a simple but challenging question: “Are you really not willing to try?”
What followed was a 60-day journey of intentionality, healing, and rediscovering connection. Alisa shares how they moved from being good roommates to true partners by choosing to put their marriage back in order—God first, spouse second, then everything else. We talk about what it looked like to say yes, not just to a challenge, but to surrender.
You’ll hear us cover:
-
The danger of treating marriage like a task list
-
How rejection builds over time, and how healing starts
-
Why prioritizing sex and connection matters more than we think
-
How to create space for your spouse on your calendar
-
The beauty of shoulder-to-shoulder conversations
-
Staying curious about your spouse in every season
We also reflect on Scripture, including Genesis 2:24 and Luke 6:37–38, and how God's design for marriage includes grace, intention, and everyday obedience.
If your marriage feels stuck, weary, or just off-track, this conversation is a reminder that God can breathe life into the ordinary. He’s not done with your story.
If you’ve walked through something similar and want to share your story, I’d love to hear it.
