Episode 178
Getting married is more than planning a wedding — it’s preparing for a lifelong vocation.
In this episode, we walk engaged couples through the conversations and habits that build a strong, lasting marriage. From finances and family expectations to conflict resolution and shared life vision, we explore the practical and spiritual foundations every couple needs before saying “I do.”
We also discuss how to recognize the difference between genuine discernment and emotional attachment, how to surface hidden concerns before they become future wounds, and why praying together is one of the most powerful ways to stay aligned.
In this episode we cover:
• The essential pre-marriage conversations
• Building a shared vision for your future
• Navigating disagreements in a healthy way
• Recognizing red flags early
• Money, family, and expectations
• Creating a meaningful prayer life together
Whether you’re newly engaged or seriously discerning marriage, this episode will help you prepare not just for a wedding day — but for a lifetime together.
