Welcome back everyone! We are continuing the mini-series that deals with biblical views of marriage. Today we are discussing the Proverbs 31 wife. Many of you are inwardly groaning but take heart! When you dig into this chapter, it isn't nearly as unattainable as what you may think. I think you all will enjoy this one. Join us! Here is the article we mention from the 1950s: https://www.drnancyoreilly.com/how-to-be-a-good-wife-1950s-style/#:~:text=Make%20him%20comfortable.&text=Have%20a%20cool%...

Have you ever received bad marriage advice? We have. Go searching the web for marriage advice and you will find some spectacularly bad nuggets of "wisdom". Well today, we discuss some of these. Some are ridiculous, but most have some elements of truth involved, but you need some discernment (and common sense) to apply them. Join us!

On today's podcast, we get a bit personal. Okay, REALLY personal. We talk about a time in our marriage where many people would have called it quits. This episode is quite vulnerable for both of us, but we hope that you can see that there is still hope even after some traumatic events. Your marriage CAN make it, and we're proof! Join us!

Today is the first episode in a mini-series that we'll be recording (not consecutively though). We are going to be looking at the biblical picture of marriage and what that looks like in this series and we are starting off with one of the most misunderstood words of all time: submission. You see? Some of you just shuddered. We shed some light on this poor maligned word. Just listen in and give it a chance.

Whenever someone mentions grief, we always tend to think of major loss. Death in the family or maybe a loss of a relationship are things that come to mind, but grief and mourning can occur because of seemingly insignificant events (at least to the outside observer). It can seem mundane but affect you more than you know. Loss of quality time with your spouse, missed opportunities with your kids, and moments not seized when they presented themselves. Join the discussion!

What is stewardship, and how does it relate to marriage? Well, that's what we discuss today. Being a good steward of your marriage is being a keen observer, a good manager, and a selfless companion. And it is on BOTH spouses to do it and do it well. Join us for the discussion!

Today, we are tackling some money saving tips for couples and families. Trust me when I say, we are not experts or even doing well in this. However, we don't have to have it all figured out to see what is wise and what is wasteful (even if we occasionally ignore it!). From budget tips to some great apps and tools that can make your money go farther, we cover a little bit of everything. Join us!

On today's podcast, we explain our name. No, not Chris and Brandi, but the name of the podcast itself. We were pretty intentional about the name we chose because we both love clever wordplay, but when we dove in, we discovered just how relevant that name really is. What is a Prime Marriage? How does the word Prime play into what you should be aiming for in your marriage. Listen in and find out!

Would you like a do-over? Well, you aren't going to get one. However, today we write a letter to our 18-year-old selves and give that younger version of ourselves some advice. No, not like invest in bitcoin, but getting in on the ground level of that would have been sweet! We encourage our younger selves to be bolder, to look at life decisions with more care, and to not take for granted the experiences that life is handing us. It's a bit of an emotional episode, but that's okay. It's real! Webs...

There are many people that think as long as there aren't false words coming out of their mouths, they are being honest. If you've lived enough life and especially if you've been married for very long, you know this isn't the case. Half-truths and omissions are not honesty and are dangerous and damaging to trust. Let's talk about it! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095412946774 Contact us: primemarriagepod@gmail.com

Anyone who anyone will tell you that self-reflection is good. We all need to take a hard look at ourselves and make changes accordingly. However, sometimes the truest reflection you can see is the one you see from your spouse. They can show you a part of yourself that you weren't even aware was there: for the positive or negative. Let's dive in and discuss it! Website: primemarriagepodcast.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100095412946774 Contact us: primemarriagepod@gmail...

Today we have a solo episode. I know, very unexpected, right? For us too! Brandi has been pretty sick this week and wasn't able to record, so you get a whole lot of Chris. I am so sorry. Haha. This one is definitely catered to the gentlemen out there. I discuss insecurities, inadequacies, and inabilities to discuss both of those. Men already aren't the best communicators, but in trying to not look weak, we tend to hurt our relationships all the more. Join me for the discussion! Website: primema...

All right folks, we are "officially" hitting our 100th episode today. I can't believe we are at triple digits.

Okay, so I know we were supposed to be recording Episode 100, but we honestly did not have a spare moment to do it. We aren't being lazy, I promise! But not everyone has been around since the beginning, and we are constantly referencing episode 1, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to remind everyone about intentionality (and how bad the audio was in the beginning).
