Gabe and Rebekah welcome their longtime friend, incredible leader, and prolific author, Mark Batterson. Known for his unique way with words, Mark joins the conversation to discuss the vital difference between having good intentions and implementing true, strategic rhythms in your life and marriage.
This is a conversation about the power of intentionality and the practical steps required to align your time, your values, and your vision as a couple. They dive into why rhythms—not just desires—are the only things that will shape the health and direction of your future.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- Why all the right intentions will fail without a strategic plan and mutual alignment
- The power of sitting down together to get serious about how you will allocate your time in the year ahead
- How to move beyond the hardest moments of marriage by establishing a unified rhythm
- The specific questions couples should ask to ensure alignment and shared clarity for their lives
