Episode 104-Don't Burn Your Own House Down: Prioritizing Your Marriage with Lindsey Maestas
In marriage, we’re called to fight for our covenant — not fuel the fire that threatens to burn it down. In this episode, Lindsey Maestas joins Paige to reveal how small distractions and temptations can slowly create distance between spouses, and how to guard your marriage with intention. She shares biblical guidance on communicating with compassion, releasing the need for control, and tackling problems as a united team. Lindsey also discusses the danger of venting to others instead of pursuing honest conversation at home. Most importantly, she reminds us that our worth and fulfillment can only be found in Jesus — not in our spouse. This episode offers practical encouragement for building a Christ-centered marriage rooted in unity and trust.

Paige’s Takeaways:
- Identify what you can control — and release what you can’t.
- A desire for control often comes from fear.
- We can’t control our spouse — and we aren’t called to.
- We can surrender fear by entrusting our marriage to God.
- Remember: you and your spouse are on the same team.
- Focus on tackling the problem together, not each other.
- Venting to others won’t solve anything — talk directly with your spouse instead of gossiping.
- Your spouse isn’t meant to be the center of your world.
- They can’t (and shouldn’t) be responsible for your identity or worth.
- Our true identity and worth are found in Jesus alone.
- The “soul-mate who completes you” cultural message creates unhealthy pressure in marriage.
