#13 Becky Carter - How God Saved Our Marriage

In this episode of The Royal Pursuit, Caleb has his first guest ever on the show: his wife, Becky Carter! We share the story of our marriage journey, transitioning from struggling as married roommates to thriving as soulmates by prioritizing the right things. We also discuss our weekly Marriage Meetings and share quotes from CS Lewis. Check out this latest episode and let us know what you think!

Marriage Meeting Format:

Adoration: Tell your spouse something that you adore about them. It can be anything that comes to mind. The key is to be genuine.

Challenges: Share with your spouse any challenges you are struggling with. Again, these could be work challenges, dealing with one of your children, or anything else!

Chores: The goal here is to get on the same page about the things that need to be done. These could be chores around the house, bills that need to be paid, etc. The point is to keep communication open about tasks that need attention.

Planning for Good Times: Lastly, always have a spot on the calendar where you plan to go out and have a good time! It could be as extreme as a week-long getaway or as simple as fast food on the porch!

Experiencing God by Henry Blackaby

 
 C.S. Lewis Quote:

“To love you as I should, I must worship God as Creator. When I have learnt to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now. In so far as I learn to love my earthly dearest at the expense of God and instead of God, I shall be moving towards the state in which I shall not love my earthly dearest at all. When first things are put first, second things are not suppressed but increased.”
