“When is it okay to quit on my marriage?”

If you are asking this question, you are probably hurting. You may feel exhausted, discouraged, and unsure how much longer you can hold on. In this episode of the Greater Marriage Podcast, we speak to that pain with compassion, biblical truth, and real hope.

This conversation is not about shame or judgment. It is about clarity, grace, and walking honestly with God in one of the hardest seasons a marriage can face.

We talk openly about why marriage can feel unbearably heavy and what Scripture actually says about divorce. We address the passages often quoted without context and explain the difference between covenant, commitment and enduring harm.

In this episode we cover:
What God means when He says He hates divorce
The Biblical grounds where divorce is permitted
How Scripture views adultery, abandonment, and abuse

Why culture prioritizes happiness but God calls us toward healing and holiness

Sometimes the first thing God wants to restore is not the marriage but the heart.

If you are unsure whether the fight is worth it, this episode will help you slow down, seek wisdom, and take the next faithful step.

God is a Redeemer. Even dead things can live again in His hands.

The digital world isn’t going anywhere. Which means avoiding it isn’t an option! As parents, our call is to disciple, not simply shield. In this episode, we talk about how to guard our children’s hearts (and our own) while navigating phones, social media, games, and the nonstop noise of online culture.

We share practical tools (like filtering software, screen boundaries, and intentional device habits) alongside the biblical truths that shape how we lead our families. You’ll learn how to create a safe environment for your kids to talk openly, how to respond with grace when they’re exposed to something harmful, and why modeling healthy digital behavior matters more than anything.

This episode is packed with real stories, practical steps, and gospel-centered guidance to help you parent intentionally in a tech-saturated world.

FULL NOTES BELOW

------------------

1. PROTECT - Safeguard What They See and Hear

HOW WE DO THIS:

Accountability software on every device (Covenant Eyes).

Delayed phones until they can drive.

Smart watches are locked down so kids can only text approved contacts.

Computer access only in public spaces (living room/kitchen).

Limited game time and intentional game selection.

Careful about music, YouTube, movies—content that shapes values.

2. EQUIP - Preparing Kids for What They Will Encounter

HOW WE DO THIS:

Teach Them What to Do When They Encounter Something Wrong.

Look away immediately.

Tell a parent right away.

Process feelings with you (shame-free).

Normalize letting your kids come to you.

“You’ll never get in trouble for something you unintentionally saw or heard.”

3. DISCIPLE - Form a Biblical Worldview in a Digital Age

Teach Them Why Purity Matters:

Seeing people as image-bearers

Honoring God with our bodies and minds

Protecting their future marriage

Psalm 119:9 NLT

How can a young person stay pure? By obeying your word.

4. MODEL - Kids learn more from what you do than what you block.

If you want your teen to put the phone down at dinner, show them your phone is down too.

If you want them to look away, you look away.

If you want them to have healthy boundaries and accountability, create them for yourself too.

In this episode, we’re talking about the one small daily habit that can bring monumental change to your marriage. You don’t need a major overhaul—you need small, consistent acts that build connection: a touch, a note, a word, a prayer. These seemingly simple choices—when practiced daily—create a marriage marked by trust, and strength.

The words you speak every day either dig depth or dig a grave. You’ll hear the truth that it’s hard to hate someone you speak well of daily, and it’s hard to stay mad at someone you intentionally forgive every day. We’ll talk about how daily digging—not deep digging—creates the strongest marriages. Small habits. Consistent rhythms. Intentional acts.
