In today’s episode, bestselling author, speaker, and pastor, Gary Thomas, offers a transformative look at marriage through the lens of spiritual growth and Christlike character. This episode challenges couples to move beyond comfort and entitlement toward sacrificial love, responsibility, and maturity. Gary explores how entitlement sabotages intimacy, why spiritual formation is central to a thriving marriage, and how couples can build habits that strengthen emotional connection and mutual respect. He shares practical insights on humility, conflict, and holiness that help relationships grow toward the marriage God designed, not the one culture conditions us to expect.
