Every single day, our marriages are being shaped by outside forces. From the social media feeds we scroll through and the advice of well-meaning friends, to the entertainment we consume and the culture around us—we are constantly being influenced. But the real question is: Are those influences building our marriage up, or quietly tearing it down?

In this episode, Robert and Kaci dive deep into the voices and values we allow into our relationships. Reflecting on our own 20-year journey, we talk about the stark contrast between our years living in a secular marriage versus a Christ-centered one, and how changing who (and what) we listened to changed everything for us.

We’re getting real about how to audit your inner circle, how to guard your heart against cultural lies about romance and commitment, and how to ensure that God’s Word is the loudest voice in your home.

Grab your spouse, tune in, and let’s ask the hard question together: Who is really running the script for your marriage?
