Building a Christ-Centered Marriage

This episode looks at why marriage matters so much—and why a Christ-centered marriage matters even more. Whether you’re engaged, newly married, or have been married for decades, we talk about how marriage is meant to reflect the gospel itself: Christ’s loving, sacrificial commitment to His church. Because of that, it’s no surprise that marriages face pressure, conflict, and discouragement when Christ isn’t at the center. Drawing from passages like Ephesians 5, we discuss what a Christ-centered marriage actually looks like, some common ways marriages drift off course, and a few simple, everyday practices that help keep Jesus at the center. We also offer encouragement for couples at every stage—from those just starting out to those in seasons of real struggle—pointing to the hope and grace Christ provides for every marriage.
