Protecting Our Marriage Before Kickoff

from 4th Quarter Marriage · host Kevin and Valerie Taft

Football teams spend weeks preparing for the season—but how often do we prepare our marriages?With kickoff just around the corner, we're having the conversation every coaching couple needs before the calendar fills up. We talk honestly about the pressure points we know are coming—changing schedules, communication, unmet expectations, and the small moments that can quietly create distance if we're not intentional.Together, we explore Proverbs 24:3–4 and discover how wisdom, understanding, and knowledge provide the blueprint for building a marriage that can thrive through the demands of football season. Because strong marriages aren't built by accident—they're built with intention.As always, we'll finish with this week's Marriage Playbook: one simple, practical step you can take before the first kickoff to help protect what matters most.Whether you're a coach, a coach's spouse, or a couple entering any busy season of life, we hope this episode reminds you that while football is a season, your marriage is your lifetime.
