Doing Marriage Well · Aug 19, 2026 · 2m · transcript

This episode explores how differences in convictions—ranging from sports and politics to conspiracy theories and faith—can strain a marriage. It offers practical steps: agree not to argue about volatile topics, respect your spouse’s boundaries, pray and seek outside influence, and prioritize safety and mutual decency.

The program references 1 Corinthians 7 (staying with an unwilling spouse if they are willing and it’s safe) and emphasises offering grace, avoiding attempts to force change, and protecting your relationship when core beliefs collide.
