In this episode, these parents of five share how joy, humility, and fun rooted in the Lord have shaped their marriage—from mealtime hospitality to adventures on the road. They talk honestly about staying connected through seasons of disconnection, seeing their table as a place of mission, and even reclaiming sex as a joyful, holy gift within marriage. With humor and heart, Nate and Jana remind us that a thriving marriage begins with serving each other in love.Resources: ⁠The 4 Habits of Joy-Filled Marriages: How 15 Minutes a Day Will Help You Stay in Love⁠ by Marcus Warner and Chris M.
