Married in just seven months and barely surviving their first year, Brad and Marilyn Rhodes went from a marriage that felt like a prison cell to founding Grace Marriage — a ministry equipping churches to disciple couples. They share the spiritual turning point that changed everything, why so many churches leave marriage wide open, and how prioritizing your marriage strengthens your kids, your church, and your walk with God. Listener question: I feel like I'm growing a lot personally and spiritually, but my spouse doesn't seem interested in that same growth. How do I handle that without feeling resentful or disconnected?
