    Episode 176- Navigating the Family Unfriendly Culture ft. Tim Carney

    Is our culture working against your marriage and family? Tim Carney, author of Family Unfriendly, joins the podcast to unpack why birth and marriage rates are falling — and what families can do to push back. From the "travel team trap" to helicopter parenting to radical individualism, this conversation is honest, practical, and deeply encouraging for couples who want to build a family that is countercultural and God-honoring. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1- Are there any activities or commitments in our family schedule that are pulling us apart more than they're bringing us together? What would it look like to simplify? 2- Tim says we communicate what we value by how we spend our time. What does our current schedule communicate to our kids — and to each other? 3- How intentional are we about cultivating a community around our family? Are we taking more than we're giving in our church or neighborhood? 4- In what ways have we bought into a hyper-individualistic mindset — even subtly — in how we approach our marriage or parenting? 5- What is one small, countercultural step we could take this month to make our family more connected — to each other, to our church, or to our neighbors? 6- If you have or plan to have kids: how are we thinking about unstructured play and sibling relationships as building blocks for who our children become?

    Episode 175- How Criticism Kills Intimacy featuring JP & Monica Pokluda

    Jonathan and Monica Pokluda join Derek and Gabrielle for a refreshingly honest conversation about marriage — the cycles, the conflict, and the slow, hard work of choosing to love. Together they unpack why criticism kills intimacy, how gratitude can transform your marriage faster than correction ever could, and what it practically looks like to encourage the change you desire in your spouse. Discussion Questions - In what ways have you slipped into a coaching or correcting posture with your spouse? What might it look like to lay that down? - Are there ways you hold back affirmation from your spouse for a reason that sounds spiritual but may actually be creating distance? - JP said "criticism is the enemy of intimacy." Do you agree? Where has criticism shown up in your marriage, and what has it cost you in closeness? - JP said to pray daily that your love and attraction for your spouse would grow. How intentional is your prayer life for your marriage? What would it look like to make that a daily practice? - Monica talked about looking back with gratitude when you feel stuck in a cycle — noticing how conflict looks different than it did 10 years ago. Where have you seen real growth in your marriage that you might be taking for granted?

    Episode 171 - Habits for Newlyweds

    The early habits you form in marriage don’t just shape your first year — they set the trajectory for decades to come. In this episode, the More than Roommates team unpacks the foundational patterns that help couples build a marriage that doesn’t drift into “roommate mode,” but instead grows into a lifelong flourishing biblical marriage. Discussion Questions: - What kind of marriage do we want to “vote for” with our daily habits? - Are we consistently praying together? If not, what’s stopping us? - Who has permission to speak into our marriage? - Is sex something we are proactively nurturing or just hoping works itself out? - Do we address conflict quickly, or let things simmer? - Are there boundaries (work, family, schedule) we need to clarify?

    Episode 170- Ditch the Single Mentality in Your Married Reality

    Many of the tensions and conflicts in marriage don’t come from a lack of love—but from living with a single mindset in a married reality. In this episode, the More Than Roommates team unpacks how autonomy, independence, and unchecked habits quietly undermine oneness—and how Scripture calls us to something better. Discussion Questions: 1- Where do you most see a single mindset show up in our marriage (time, money, body, tech, decisions)? 2- How can I renew my mind around gratitude for my marriage daily? 3- What’s one practical step we could take this week to move toward greater oneness?

Which W.E.N.I. pattern do you most often fall into—and why do you think that is? 2. What does validation look like practically when one of us is emotional? 3. What boundaries or “pause plans” can we agree on before our next conflict? Resource: - Blog from Scott Kedersha about WENI
