In this episode of The Grace Marriage Podcast, Brad talks with founder of momQ Candace Nassar about shame, condemnation, conflict, and the quiet patterns that can damage a marriage over time. Candice shares practical wisdom on how to recognize the schemes of the enemy, name emotions instead of reacting in anger, receive feedback without defensiveness, and let Christ reshape the way you love your spouse. At the heart of the conversation is a simple but powerful truth: healthy marriages are not built by winning arguments, but by growing in humility, grace, and Christlike love.
