In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I sit down with my friend Shannon from 24/7 Marriage to talk about faith in practice inside your relationship. We talk about building a strong foundation from the Bible, not from the world’s shifting definition of love and commitment. Shannon shares what it looks like to walk with God as a couple through everyday pressures, and why daily habits like prayer, technology boundaries, and worship can change the atmosphere of a home. We also talk about covenant. Not a contract. Covenant love means there is no back door. It is a choice to keep showing up, especially in the valley. Shannon explains how husbands can lead with steadiness, how wives can pray with wisdom and humility, and why Christian community matters when you feel stuck or alone. Finally, we unpack the difference between compassion and empathy, and how empathy can transform the way you love your spouse in suffering, stress, addiction, depression, and uncertainty. This is hope-forward, practical, and honest. You are not meant to do marriage alone.
