Few people know this, but the first two years of our marriage were so broken that, without help, it may have eventually ended in divorce. Looking back, the scariest thing was how oblivious everyone was to it. It was like we had an ax in our leg, the blood was pouring onto the floor, and nobody seemed concerned.

In this episode, Veronica and I remind couples that just because something is common, doesn’t mean it’s normal. Let me explain. Divorce is common. Men with wandering eyes are common. Married couples with separate bank accounts are common. Disrespectful wives are common. Disobedient children are common. Loveless marriages are common. But they are not normal.

A normal marriage is vibrant, committed, and loyal. A normal marriage protects itself from anything that might attack it. A normal marriage is two people who work every day at becoming one. A normal marriage understands that marriage is less about being happy, and more about becoming holy.

In addition, we share our story. How we met, the tales of our dating life, the fireworks and flame throwing of early marriage, our journey toward biblical maturity, and where we stand today.
