    Marriage Goals and Dreams | What We Learned About Supporting Each Other's Dreams in Marriage

    What happened to the dreams you had when you first got married? In this episode of Back to Eden, we get honest about what happens to purpose, passion, and dreams once the realities of marriage and life set in — and why blaming your spouse for your unfulfilled dreams is one of the biggest lie the enemy has ever brought into marriage. We unpack why supporting each other's vision is not optional, why there is a blessing in unity, and what God's Word says about two people pursuing a great reward together. If you and your spouse have lost sight of the dreams you started with — this episode will help you find them again. Ecclesiastes 4:9 (NKJV) "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor."

Colossians 3:19 (AMP) "Husbands, love your wives [with an affectionate, sympathetic, selfless love that always seeks the best for them] and do not be embittered or resentful toward them [because of the responsibilities of marriage]."
