You’ve probably heard them all—“Happy wife, happy life,” “Marriage should be 50/50,” “Don’t go to bed angry.” But are these catchy phrases actually helping your marriage… or quietly sabotaging it?

In this episode, we’re unpacking five of the most common marriage clichés and holding them up to the light of Scripture. Some of them sound sweet. Some of them sound wise. But all of them fall short of God’s design for a thriving, Christ-centered marriage.

Whether you’re newly married or a few years in, this episode will help you trade in shallow slogans for deeper, gospel-rooted truth.
