Why marriage feels like a power struggle without Jesus

Every relationship carries tension, and the Bible explains why. In this Daily Hope, Pastor John S. Dickerson explores Genesis 3:16, where God reveals how sin fractured the bond between husband and wife. Left to our sinful nature, wives will want to control, and husbands will be tempted to misuse strength—leading to conflict instead of harmony. Yet this passage is not God’s design but a picture of what happens when we live apart from Him. Discover how Christ transforms marriages and relationships, breaking cycles of power struggles and leading us into grace-filled love. If you’ve ever wondered why it’s so hard to find peace at home, this episode offers hope rooted in Jesus.
