In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I sit down with my friend Shannon from 24/7 Marriage to talk about building your marriage on the Bible instead of the world's shifting definitions of love and commitment. Shannon shares what it looks like for couples to walk with God through everyday pressure, and why covenant, not contract, means there is no back door. We also talk about how husbands can lead with steadiness and how wives can pray with wisdom and humility. In this conversation: - Daily habits like prayer, technology boundaries, and worship that change the atmosphere of a home - The difference between compassion and empathy, and how empathy helps you love a spouse through stress, depression, or addiction - Why Christian community matters when your marriage feels stuck You are not meant to do marriage alone. If this conversation encouraged you, share it with a friend who needs it, or reach out at [https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact](https://perspectivesintopractice.com/contact).
