87. Marriage Through the Decades: Trusting God in Every Season with Loren & Sue Tucker

We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback. In week three of the Marriage Through the Decades series, Nikki sits down with Loren and Sue Tucker, a couple who have been married for 35 years and whose influence has stretched across generations. This conversation is especially meaningful as Loren and Sue were Nikki’s youth pastors during some of the most formative years of her life. With warmth, wisdom, and humility, they reflect on marriage, parenting, empty nesting, grandparenting, ministry, and the faithfulness of God through every season.Together, they share what it looked like to raise four children with intentionality, how they learned to release fear as their children grew into adulthood, and why asking good questions became such an important part of their family culture. They talk honestly about the challenge of letting go of control, the beauty of watching adult children build lives and families of their own, and the joy of welcoming grandchildren. Loren and Sue also speak candidly about the realities of marriage over time, including the need to deny self, guard your thought life, communicate with wisdom, and keep your eyes fixed on Christ.This episode is filled with practical encouragement for couples in every season, from raising teenagers to navigating an empty nest. More than anything, it is a conversation about faithfulness—faithfulness in marriage, faithfulness in parenting, faithfulness in ministry, and the steady grace of God that carries us through it all. Loren and Sue’s story is a beautiful reminder that strong marriages are not built on perfection, but on humility, growth, deep trust in the Lord, and a willingness to keep showing up for one another year after year.JOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/
