Why is summer the most common season for divorce? In this powerful and heartfelt episode, The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast host Ginny Yurich sits down with Rebekah and Gabe Lyons—authors of The Fight for Us—to talk about the unexpected strains of modern marriage, how childhood patterns silently shape our partnerships, and what it really means to fight for each other. With refreshing vulnerability, the Lyons share the lessons they've learned through 28 years of marriage, raising four kids (two with Down syndrome), and building a life together marked by both purpose and play. They reveal why marriages unravel when there's no plan, no rest, and no rhythm—and how to change course before resentment takes root. This episode is packed with practical takeaways, laugh-out-loud moments (yes, we're talking drive-thru fights and dishwasher wars), and deeply moving reminders that even a broken vacation—or a broken rhythm—can become sacred ground. From connection questions to shared outdoor adventures to play as spiritual practice, Gabe and Rebekah show us that healing is possible—and worth the work. Don't miss this one. **

Is marriage still relevant in today's culture? In this illuminating conversation, Rebekah and Gabe Lyons welcome sociologist Dr. Brad Wilcox, author of "Get Married: Why Americans Must Defy the Elites, Forge Strong Families, and Save Civilization." Dr. Wilcox presents compelling research that challenges the prevailing cultural narrative that marriage hinders personal fulfillment and success.Drawing from his research as director of the National Marriage Project at the University of Virginia, Dr. Wilcox shares how marriage significantly impacts not just individual happiness but society as a whole. He explains how the shift toward "expressive individualism" since the 1970s has undermined marriage, and dispels common myths about marriage including the "flying solo myth," the "family diversity myth," and the "soulmate myth." The data is clear: contrary to popular belief, married people report greater happiness, experience better financial outcomes, and contribute to stronger communities.Rebekah and Dr. Wilcox also discuss the challenges women face in "having it all" and the importance of recognizing different seasons of life. For young adults contemplating marriage, Dr. Wilcox offers practical advice about finding someone with shared values, faith, and dreams—emphasizing that couples who build a foundation of friendship before marriage tend to experience more stable and fulfilling relationships. Whether you're married, single, or parenting young adults, this episode offers valuable insights about why the institution of marriage remains crucial for personal happiness and societal flourishing.Order The Fight for Us:https://a.co/d/aJehu4fJoin the Marriage May Challenge:https://www.rebekahlyons.com/marriagemayRegister for the Marriage & Parenting Retreat:November 20-21, 2025 at: https://www.rebekahlyons.com/retreatParticipate in the THINQ resource, Let's Talk Relationships: https://events.thinqmedia.com/relationships

Let's talk about sex! This week, Rebekah and Gabe Lyons break the silence around the intimate side of marriage that many couples struggle to discuss. They share how growing up with "just don't do it" messages left them confused on their wedding day, and how easy it is for couples to fall into viewing sex as either a transaction or obligation rather than the beautiful connection God designed.Rebekah shares, "sex becomes loaded with pressure until it feels more comfortable to just avoid it completely." Gabe admits his own misconceptions: "I thought if I did the dishes, it would make you want to have sex with me—like you'd want to pay me back." Their candid admissions make way for practical wisdom about the differences in how men and women approach intimacy and why weekly connection correlates with the happiest marriages. This judgment-free conversation gives couples permission to start talking about expectations, barriers, and how to rediscover sex as something that should be amazing rather than a duty to endure.Order The Fight for Us:https://a.co/d/aJehu4fFree Gifts when You Order Now:Get Our Free Masterclass, Growth & Connection Toolkit, Emotional Health for Marriages Course and More at https://rebekahlyons.com/marriageTake the What's Your Dance Quiz:rebekahlyons.com/quiz

At the Asbury Outpouring, pastor and revival leader Zach Meerkreebs witnessed firsthand what happens when people make room for the Holy Spirit to work. In this episode, Zach unpacks how we can posture ourselves to receive an outpouring of God's presence. He calls us to move beyond just longing for revival and instead take practical steps to create space for God to move in our lives, our churches, and our culture. Zach reminds us that revival isn't something we manufacture—it's something we prepare for. He challenges us to ask: Are we creating space for God to move, or are we too distracted, too busy, or too skeptical to welcome His presence? Listen in as Zach makes it clear that when we surrender, seek Him, and cultivate expectant faith, we create the conditions for an outpouring that can transform not just our lives, but entire communities.
