You'll discover: Why empathy without boundaries can become self-sabotage How passivity kills attraction The real difference between panic and passion And why ownership is the turning point between wishing and winning Whether you're in a marriage crisis or stuck in survival mode, this episode is your invitation to stop letting life happen to you—and start choosing who you want to become.

    The Hidden Crisis in Christian Marriages (And How To Fix It)

    Enjoy the episode? Send us a text! 🔎 What Does Research Say About Marital Satisfaction Among Christians? | Marriage Helper + Barna Study In this powerful episode, Dr. Joe Beam and Kimberly Beam Holmes dive deep into the fascinating findings from a 2021 survey conducted by Barna Research Group in partnership with Marriage Helper. ➡️ What percentage of Christian couples are truly satisfied in their marriages? ➡️ How does practicing faith impact marital happiness? ➡️ Why do men often report higher satisfaction — and what could they be missing? ➡️ Why does "somewhat satisfied" actually ring alarm bells for marriage health? You'll hear behind-the-scenes insights into how the survey was designed, why self-reporting can be tricky (especially around sensitive topics like infidelity and satisfaction), and the real implications for couples — and churches — today. Key Topics Covered: ✔️ Marital satisfaction breakdown across generations: Millennials, Gen X, and Boomers ✔️ Why “somewhat satisfied” may signal hidden danger ✔️ The critical difference between practicing and non-practicing Christians ✔️ How long couples typically wait before seeking help (hint: it’s way too long!) ✔️ Why churches struggle to support marriages—and how Marriage Helper is stepping in to help ✔️ Resources available RIGHT NOW for individuals and churches 📢 Free Resources + Support: Want real help for your marriage or your church?
