  Episode 96: The Marriage You Thought You'd Have

  Aug 17, 202630 min

  What happens when the marriage you have isn’t the marriage you thought you were getting? Most of us entered marriage carrying expectations—about communication, sex, money, parenting, faith, family, and even who we thought our spouse would become. But eventually, there’s a moment when we realize: this isn’t exactly what I ordered. So what do you do with the disappointment? In this episode, Carl and Heather talk about the difference between things in marriage that genuinely need to change and things we may need to learn to accept—and even love. Through Scripture, humor, and a burger with way too many onions, they explore biblical contentment, gratitude, patience, unmet expectations, and the possibility that God may be doing something good in a marriage that looks different from the one you imagined. Maybe the goal isn’t to finally get the marriage you thought you’d have. Maybe it’s to discover what God wants to do with the marriage you actually have. Plus, Carl and Heather share more about their new book, Together on Purpose , coming November 1. Have a prayer request?

  Replay Episode: Get Off The Crazy Train

  Aug 10, 202630 min

  Replay Episode: Creating Margin (Our Very First Episode) As we approach our 100th episode, we're revisiting the conversation that started it all. Many of you have discovered the podcast over the past couple of years, so we wanted to re-release Episode 1 because its message feels more timely now than ever. Life has a way of filling every open space. Between work, kids, sports, church, and endless opportunities, it's easy to find ourselves running at a pace that leaves little room for what matters most. In this conversation, we talk honestly about our own struggle with overcommitment, the cost of hurry, and why creating intentional margin is essential for a healthy marriage and a healthy soul. You'll hear practical ideas for slowing down, protecting your priorities, and making space to connect with God and each other. Because we've learned this is still true: Margin is the space where connection grows. Whether this is your first time hearing Episode 1 or you're listening again, we hope it encourages you to step off the crazy train and make room for the relationships that matter most. Together is better. Send us Fan Mail Looking to connect with Carl and Heather? Start here... www.carlandheather.com @carlcartee @heather.cartee

  Back To School: Becoming A Better Student of Your Spouse

  Aug 3, 202633 min

  Back to School: Become a Student of Your Spouse Every August, students head back to the classroom—but what if this season became an opportunity to go back to school in your marriage? In this episode, Carl and Heather challenge couples to become lifelong students of one another. Instead of assuming you've already figured your spouse out, learn how curiosity, intentional questions, and healthy rhythms can deepen intimacy and strengthen your relationship. Together, they discuss why people continue to change throughout marriage, what Scripture teaches about drawing out the heart of another person, and practical habits that help couples stay connected through every season of life. No matter how long you've been married, you'll discover fresh ways to pursue, understand, and love your spouse with greater intentionality.

  Episode 93: "Together In Battle" Ephesians 5:22-6:24 (Week 5)

  Jul 27, 202623 min

  What if the greatest purpose of your marriage is to tell the story of the Gospel? In the final episode of our study through Ephesians, Carl and Heather explore one of the most discussed passages in Scripture and discover that Paul's ultimate focus isn't marriage itself—it's Christ and His Church. Together you'll unpack what sacrificial love, mutual honor, and covenant commitment look like in everyday marriage. You'll also discover why the armor of God immediately follows Paul's teaching on marriage and why remembering your spouse is not your enemy can transform the way you handle conflict. As we wrap up this five-week journey through Ephesians, we're reminded that the goal isn't simply to know God's Word—it's to become people who live it together.

  Episode 92: "Together In Love" Ephesians 4:17–5:21 (Week 4)

  Jul 20, 202622 min

  Why is following Jesus still such a struggle sometimes? If you've ever wondered why old habits, old arguments, or old ways of thinking continue to surface—even after placing your faith in Christ—you're not alone. In Episode 4 of our study through Ephesians, Carl and Heather explore Paul's invitation to put off the old self, walk in love, and live wisely through the power of the Holy Spirit. You'll discover why lasting transformation begins with identity, how small daily choices shape healthy marriages, and why the Christian life isn't powered by willpower but by God's Spirit working within us. Join us as we continue our five-week journey through the Book of Ephesians.
