In this episode we are talking about the very common theme of "roommate syndrome" that inevitably shows up inside of our marriages. Why does it show up, what causes roommate syndrome to occur and how can we rid our marriages of it. How does Gods role in our marriage help alleviate this revolving and stagnant cycle from continuing when we focus on Him? Roommate syndrome is a physical side effect that reveals itself inside of a marriage when the spiritual nature of the marriage is being ignored. The marriage is hungry and it is not getting fed, so it sends a signal to us and tries to communicate with us to draw inward and draw our attention to the problem areas.
Roommate syndrome does not mean you "married the wrong person", nor does it mean that you are "no longer compatible" or have "fallen out of love". It also doesn't mean that your spouse is solely responsible; but rather the slow decline of intentionality, forgiveness, and time spent in Gods word are revealing themselves within the marriage covenant. I am sure you are familiar with these very commonly used statements as they relate to marriage and I am here to tell you that non of these statements have a place in covenanted & biblical marriage and there is something you can do about it!
Lets get ROOTED!
Stay well & stay blessed

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
