What happens when the person you love loves something you just can't stand? Maybe one of you is obsessed with fitness, a specific hobby, or a career path, while the other couldn't care less. In the early stages of a relationship, we try to force ourselves to like everything our partner likes. But as the years roll on, the reality sets in: our passions don't always align.

In this episode, Robert and Kaci tackle the common marital roadblock of differing interests. It’s easy to feel lonely or disconnected when your spouse doesn’t share your enthusiasm for the things that make you come alive. We look back at our own 20-year journey to share how we learned to navigate our individual differences without driving a wedge into our relationship.

We’re breaking down the difference between secular compatibility (which says you have to be identical to stay together) and biblical unity (which celebrates individual giftings while keeping the core foundation the same). Tune in as we discuss how to support your spouse’s passions, guard against resentment, and ensure that your ultimate shared passion remains Jesus Christ.
