Protecting Your Marriage, Raising Godly Kids, Finding Your Calling - w/ Jerry Jenkins

In today's episode of the Marriage After God podcast, Aaron interviews Jerry Jenkins, bestselling author of over 195 books including the Left Behind series. With 54 years of marriage and over 71 million books sold, Jerry shares his time-tested wisdom about protecting your marriage through intentional boundaries he calls "hedges."

In this wisdom-filled conversation, we explore:

• Why even strong marriages need protective boundaries

• The seven specific hedges Jerry uses to protect his marriage

• How to identify and create your own personal hedges

• Why quality time with your children matters more than career success

• Practical ways to show respect and love to your spouse daily

• The new challenges social media and technology pose to marriages

• How sharing your love story strengthens your family legacy

Whether you're newly married, raising children, or seeking to protect your marriage from modern temptations, this conversation offers biblical wisdom and practical steps from someone who has faithfully lived what he teaches.
