Watch \"Stronger Marriages\" first: https://youtu.be/XFandtFb3A8\nIn Episode 3 of Stronger, Andy and Stacie Wood sit down with Ariel Amaro the week they taught God's design for marriage, and they go where a Sunday message can't: the eight months they ran with no margin and the getaway that reset them, the weekly checkpoint and the shared calendar that keep a marriage current, what to do when the check engine light comes on, and why the difference between working in your marriage and working on it decides what year fifteen looks like.\nThen they go where most churches don't: why God designed sex for marriage and what gets in the way of it, what Stacie wishes someone had told her before her wedding, why \"consistently kind, then very kind\" is a better plan than the gas pedal, and what Stacie says to the wife whose husband is caught in pornography and won't get help.\nMarried and drifting, married and fighting for it, or single and wondering what to hope for, this one is for you.\nBONUS EPISODE TUESDAY\nAndy and Stacie's hot takes on money, conflict, and how they work through disagreements. Coming Tuesday, October 6.\nONE THING TO DO THIS WEEK\nIf you're married: pick one thing this week that works on your marriage instead of in it. A weekly checkpoint, a date, or the conversation you've been putting off. Put it on the calendar. If you're single: write down what you want your marriage to be before you're in one, and pray for the person you haven't met yet. Then send this to a couple who needs it.\nRESOURCES MENTIONED\nCelebrate Recovery at Saddleback: https://saddleback.com/sections/get-care/celebrate-recovery/\nSaddleback Cares: https://saddleback.com/care/\nFemale by Design podcast (Francie Winslow):...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/C-eg33Wmu_-0sjRGC2o2d-SFUApNY7WinuLqxMK7ukE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS83MmU2/ODAyZWZkNDg4NmM4/NGY2MDkwM2EwYzdj/NTUwYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
