In the latest episode of the Marriage Puzzle Podcast, Thomas and I dive into the final chapter of From This Day Forward by Craig and Amy Groeschel, exploring the theme of "Never Give Up." As marriage coaches, we're passionate about helping couples transform their relationships by addressing key areas like money, intimacy, and communication. This episode is a deeply personal journey into the commitment required to sustain a marriage through life's inevitable ups and downs.
At the heart of this discussion, we reflect on the idea of marriage as a covenant, not just a contract. To us, marriage vows are more than promises; they’re a pledge to love unconditionally, no matter the circumstances. We open up about our own journey, sharing stories of parenting our four children, some of whom have ADHD and developmental delays. It’s not easy, and we’ve faced plenty of moments that tested our commitment.
One such moment stands out vividly. On a chaotic day filled with the demands of parenting, I turned to Thomas and said, "Please don’t give up on this family, please don’t give up on me." That raw plea captured the heart of what resilience in marriage looks like—choosing to fight for each other even when it feels overwhelming.
We also talk about legacy and what it means for a marriage. How do you want your relationship to be remembered? How will it inspire others? Whether through coaching, counseling, or simply building a supportive community, we encourage couples to actively invest in their marriage. A legacy isn’t something that just happens; it’s built intentionally, day by day.
If you’ve been thinking about marriage coaching, we’d love to help. We offer a free discovery call to explore how we can support you—whether you’re working through challenges or looking to strengthen an already solid relationship. Sometimes, choosing to have the hard conversations now can save you from more difficult ones later.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder that marriage is a daily decision to never give up. By listening, we hope you’ll find inspiration and practical steps to build a resilient relationship that leaves a lasting legacy.
