1 Corinthians 7:10-16 addresses God's design for marriage, calling believers to faithfulness, grace, and commitment. Separation, Divorce and Remarriage – Honor Marriage and Love your Spouse teaches God's heart for reconciliation, covenant loyalty, and Christlike love within relationships, urging couples to reflect God's faithfulness through forgiveness, patience, and enduring devotion.Series: Truths from CorinthiansSpeaker: Siji GeorgeScripture: 1 Corinthians 7:10-16Sermon: 16Notes: https://1drv.ms/b/c/2d96a468bbf967d6/IQDh3XKgm-38SZNzHjxsQAewAXn6r9lwJSbh5quZtETxdM0?e=sgsqCd

Nobody ever really teaches us how to be married. Most of us walk into marriage full of love and hope, but with very little understanding of what we're actually stepping into. We come from different families, different upbringings, and different beliefs about money, sex, parenting, communication, and conflict. Then suddenly, we're expected to blend all of that into one shared life.Marriage often feels like being thrown into the deep end and told to figure it out as you go. And for many couples, the struggle isn't a lack of effort—it's a lack of tools. We don't know how to build the marriage we want, and sometimes we don't even know what tools we're missing.In this episode of Ultimate Intimacy, Nick and Amy talk about how many of us have unintentionally built patterns, habits, and even entire marriages we never meant to create. Not because we didn't care, but because we were never taught how to do it differently. They explore why understanding this truth can change everything, and why learning to extend grace to ourselves and to our spouse may be one of the most powerful steps toward deeper connection and intimacy. If you haven't already, go check out the Ultimate Intimacy App in the app stores, or at ultimateintimacy.com to find "Ultimate Intimacy" in your marriage.

Have you ever gone all out to love your spouse, only to be met with a lukewarm response? You meant well. You put in real effort. And somehow, it still missed the mark.In this episode of One Degree Marriage, we're talking about what it actually looks like to love your spouse in the way they feel most loved, not just the way that comes naturally to you. Using real-life examples, biblical truth, and practical questions you can ask this week, we unpack why love is meant to be self-giving and sacrificial rather than self-expressive.We discuss love languages, why gratitude and intention both matter, how seasons of life change the way love is received, and why regular check-ins (like a Weekly Marriage Meeting) are key to staying connected. If you want to move from well-intentioned effort to meaningful connection, this episode will help you take that next step.

Can you honestly say you love your spouse the way Christ loves the church? For most of us, the answer is no—because in our own strength, it's impossible.In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster reveals the truth most Christians miss: God didn't command sacrificial love and then leave you to figure it out alone. Romans 5:5 says He already put His love in your heart by the Holy Spirit.The world's love is conditional—based on attractiveness, success, personality. When those fade, the love dies. But God's love is different. He loves because it's His nature, and because you need to be loved—not because you deserve it.Pastor Webster opens Ephesians 5 and Romans 5 to show God's supernatural provision: the capacity to love sacrificially is already in you. Now you just have to choose it.✓ How can I love my spouse when I don't feel it anymore?✓ What's the difference between the world's love and God's love?✓ Can God really change my capacity to love?✓ Is sacrificial love actually possible for ordinary Christians?✓ Why are Christian marriages failing at the same rate as the world?

A lesson in making sure your beneficiaries are updated in ERISA covered plans following a divorce, the iRS issues guidance attacking a Charitable LLC shelter and more.

You made space for your husband to step up. He's fumbling through it. And you're standing there thinking: I could do this so much better. Should I just take over again? But - when you're asking "is this worth it?" you're trying to calculate a payoff you can't even see yet. Your vision of what marriage could be is being imagined from inside the wound - from inside the pattern of doing everything yourself. In this Q&A conversation, Rabbi Yonasan and Rena Reiser tackle two listener questions that reveal the same challenge: learning to be vulnerable in marriage. Not just "let him help with tasks" vulnerable. Actually vulnerable - admitting you have inadequacies, expressing uncomfortable feelings, asking for what you need. They explore why this feels so foreign when you've been independent your whole life. Why most women can't even recognize what they're feeling, let alone ask for it. And why there's no shortcut around the discomfort - real interdependence requires learning an entirely new language. This Episode Is For You If: - You made space for your husband to step up and he's fumbling - wondering if you should just take over - You're exhausted from handling everything but don't know how to need your husband - You're in early marriage transitioning from independence to vulnerability - You can't recognize what you're feeling, let alone what you need - The thought of asking for help feels embarrassing - You're perfectionistic and struggle watching anyone (including yourself) fail - You wonder if you're capable of real interdependence

If your ex is still controlling you and you keep reacting, explaining, or trying to keep the peace… you might be actively hurting your legal case without even realizing it.Because here's the thing: divorce doesn't cure controlling behavior—it often exposes it. And control doesn't always look loud. Sometimes it looks “polite.” Sometimes it looks like silence. Sometimes it looks like a thousand tiny moments that make your stomach drop.In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce, attorney Morgan Stogsdill and comedian Andrea Rappaport break down what control looks like after separation, why it escalates, and the legal + emotional action steps to shut it down.And yes—there's also a story involving a tambourine, a fire-lit “happiness class,” and a man casually threatening everyone with a tombstone. (Welcome to the show.)What You'll Learn in This Episode✅ How control shows up during divorce (even when it's not obvious)Morgan explains that control can look like:Financial control: “I'll pay when I feel like it,” monitoring spending, moving goalpostsMicromanaging parenting and second-guessing everything you doWeaponized silence / delayed responses to make you spiralMaking you feel like you need permission for decisions you don't need permission for“Polite” manipulation disguised as “concern for the kids”Why control often escalates after separationAndrea explains the psychology: when someone loses access and power, they often pull harder—because control is how they regulate their discomfort.The dangerous legal issue most people miss: “splitting”Morgan explains how controlling behavior can drive a wedge between you and your attorney—making you doubt your lawyer, hold back details, or get pulled into the ex's narrative.That's not just stressful. It can derail your strategy and cost you serious money. The communication trap that keeps you stuckIf your nervous system is hijacked every time they text you, you'll default to the old pattern:ReactingOver-explainingTrying to smooth things overTrying to get them to “understand”Which gives them exactly what they want: access.The Tools That Help You Stop the Control1) Tighten the structure (legally + logistically)Morgan explains why vague agreements don't work with controlling people. Example of vague: “reasonable communication.” Problem: “reasonable” becomes a playground for manipulation.2) Reduce accessBecause (say it with us): control fades when access fades.That may mean:limiting communicationusing a parenting appnot responding to baitpushing...

A seven-year-old voice opens the door to a living room confession: marriage can feel heavy even when the love is real. In this episode, Angel Santana shares a quiet, honest story of stretched patience, mounting responsibilities, and the moment he stopped carrying the burden alone. Listen as a simple Bible truth — two are better than one — becomes a lifeline. Through candid reflection, prayer, and a call to invite God into the hard parts, this episode unfolds like a short journey from strain to steady hope. If your marriage feels heavy, come in, sit down, and let this episode remind you that grace, partnership, and faith can change everything—one small choice at a time.
