Episode Synopsis

What would your marriage look like if you had a clear, God-centered vision guiding your decisions? And are you building your future together intentionally, or just letting life happen to you?In this episode, we explore how every great story has a quest—and marriage is no different. Drawing from Proverbs 29:18, "Where there is no vision, the people perish," we discuss why most marriages don't fail because of one big moment, but because they slowly lose direction. We share how we started our marriage without any real vision, thinking it was just the next step in life rather than a purposeful journey requiring intentionality.We break down what marriage looks like with vision versus without it. Without vision, couples react instead of respond, conflict becomes personal rather than purposeful, and life decisions feel random and disconnected. With vision, decisions are filtered through God's purpose, conflict becomes growth-oriented, and unity increases even in hard seasons.Using the imagery of oxen yoked together from Amos 3:3, we explain how two people can't walk together unless they're agreed—split vision means no progress. We candidly share our current season of job loss after eighteen years and how we're trusting that God is already in the next season, we just have to catch up to where He is.We challenge the popular idea of vision boards focused on personal desires, emphasizing instead that biblical marriage vision flows from God's design. As Psalm 37:4 truly means: when you delight in the Lord, He places His desires in your heart—it's not about getting what you want, but wanting what He wants.We offer practical questions to discuss together: What do we want our marriage to be known for? How does our marriage serve God's purpose? What do our kids think about our marriage? Remember—it's never too late to start, whether you've been married one month or fifty years.If you would like prayer for your marriage or anything at all, email us at [email protected].
