Marriage is one of God’s most beautiful gifts—but it can also be one of the most challenging. Even couples who love each other deeply and want to honor God can find themselves stuck in the same conversations, the same misunderstandings, and the same frustrations, wondering why nothing seems to change.

That’s why I’m so excited to share this week’s episode of The Love Offering Podcast with you.

I’m joined by Dr. Emerson Eggerichs to talk about his book Lightbulb Moments in Marriage: 12 Biblical Perspectives for Successful and Satisfied Couples. In our conversation, Dr. Eggerichs shares what he calls “aha” moments—simple, biblically grounded truths that have helped thousands of couples finally see what they were missing.

These aren’t complicated formulas or trendy advice. They’re Scripture-shaped insights that often lead couples to say, “Why didn’t we see this sooner?”

We talk about:
• Why ignorance—not lack of love—is often what fuels conflict
• How one small shift in perspective can break long-standing cycles
• The difference between trying harder and understanding better
• What it looks like to respond with responsibility, not react out of frustration
• Letting God’s Word—not culture—define love, respect, and commitment

Whether you’ve been married a few months or many decades, this conversation is full of wisdom, grace, and hope. Sometimes, it really does take just one lightbulb moment to bring clarity, peace, and renewal.

I pray this episode encourages you to see your marriage—and your spouse—through fresh eyes.

Much love,
Rachael
