21. How a Healthy Marriage Makes You a Better Father, with Pastor Dan DeMey

It’s easy to get wrapped up in our kids’ lives at the expense of our marriage. Yet, a healthy relationship with our spouse can have a profoundly positive impact on how we show up in our role as father. Indeed, given the Biblical imagery of two becoming one, there’s literally something missing in terms of our ability to father well if we’re not connected in a life-giving way with our wife. Joining us on this episode is Pastor Dan DeMey of Shine Church to unpack the importance of the marriage relationship for fatherhood, help us visualize how husband and wife are to be ideally joined, explain who is really the head of the household (hint: it’s not who you might think), and equip us with practical tools for growing closer with our wives. Marriage can be challenging. But it's worth investing in — not just for the sake of you and your spouse, but for the sake of your kids as well.  Note: This is a great episode to share with your spouse. Or even better, listen to it together!
