    If The Covering Ain't Bothered... Why Are You?

    Hey fam—this episode is real, bold, and might step on a toe or two… but it’s all love. In this conversation, we’re talking about intimacy, confidence, and the role of covering in marriage—especially when it comes to how spouses show up together in public spaces, including the church. We address the quiet judgments people make, the opinions that don’t belong to them, and the deeper question couples need to ask themselves:👉🏽 How am I showing up for my spouse?👉🏽 What does our intimacy look like—before we ever leave the house?👉🏽 Are my spouse’s eyes still locked on me? This isn’t about dressing for attention—it’s about protecting connection. It’s about understanding that when intimacy is healthy at home, confidence shows up everywhere else. And when the covering in your marriage is aligned, outside opinions don’t get a vote. We also talk about: Why intimacy starts long before the bedroom How confidence between spouses communicates without words The difference between conviction and unnecessary commentary Why honoring your spouse publicly matters more than pleasing spectators Let’s be clear—if the covering doesn’t have a problem with it… why should anyone else? ✨ And ladies, if this conversation stirred something in you—about confidence, identity, healing, or becoming who God is calling you to be—this is your reminder that your season of birthing is here. 📣 Join us at the upcoming Birthing Room Women’s Conference, where women gather to heal, grow, and give birth to what God has placed inside of them.🔗 Learn more and secure your seat at thebirthingroom.co This episode is for couples who want to stay connected, confident, and committed—eyes locked, hearts guarded, and marriage protected. Stay encouraged, fam. Don’t give up on God. Don’t give up on your spouse. Let’s do the work—together.
