Your Marriage Is Growing Something… What Are You Planting?
What kind of marriage are you planting today?
Most couples focus on the problems they're experiencing right now, but Scripture points us to something much deeper: every marriage is continually sowing seeds that will eventually produce a harvest.
In this episode, Chris and Jamie explore the powerful biblical principle of Sowing and Reaping and how it applies to your marriage. They explain why marriages don't become deeply connected—or painfully disconnected—overnight. Instead, they are shaped by thousands of small choices, habits, attitudes, and interactions over time.
You'll discover:
• The three biblical truths about sowing and reaping
• Why neglect is never neutral in marriage
• How busyness slowly creates disconnection
• The danger of self-protection, resentment, and criticism
• Why awareness is one of the greatest gifts you can develop
• How to begin planting seeds that lead to connection, trust, and intimacy
• Why it's never too late to prepare the soil and start again
No matter what your marriage looks like today, God's mercies are new every morning. If you're willing to begin planting different seeds, He can produce a different harvest.
This episode offers practical encouragement and biblical hope for couples who want to intentionally build a thriving marriage and a lasting family legacy.
