84. Marriage Through the Decades: Choosing Each Other (Again and Again)
Thursday, 26 February, 2026
We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback. What if one of the greatest gifts we can give our children isn’t a perfect childhood, but a healthy marriage to grow up inside of?In this special kickoff episode, we’re introducing a four-week series called Marriage Through the Decades. This series isn’t about picture-perfect relationships or pretending anyone has it all together. It’s about real couples in real seasons who keep choosing each other—again and again.Over the next four weeks, you’ll hear from four couples married across four different decades: • 10–20 years • 20–30 years • 30–40 years • 40+ yearsFrom raising young children to navigating teens, launching adults, and stepping into retirement, each season looks different. But the foundations of friendship, faithfulness, intentionality, and commitment remain steady.In this episode, we talk about why marriage shapes the atmosphere of our homes, how our kids learn love and conflict resolution by watching us, and why protecting your relationship, even in the busiest seasons, matters more than we often realize.This conversation is about being intentional, not impressive. Marriage is hard, but it is worth fighting for.Next week, we begin with a powerful story of restoration from a couple who nearly lost their marriage in the first decade, and what it looked like to rebuild what felt completely broken.Join us as we walk through the decades together.JOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/
