As we step into 2026, it’s not about making resolutions — it’s about making decisions.

Every marriage is either building something or burying something.
The question is: what in your marriage needs to die so something better can live?
Every year, couples carry old habits, unspoken hurts, and unresolved conflicts into a new season — expecting new results from the same foundations. But new life can’t grow in old soil. You’ve got to do some spiritual demolition before you can rebuild.
We will look at what you need to bring in and what needs ti be removed as we go into a new year and a new marriage!

When a storm hits your marriage, how prepared are you. Many couples, in the midst of a storm, grow closer, rely on one another, and need each other to make it through. Why? How did it draw them closer when others seem to be torn apart?
What you do IN BETWEEN matters more than the storm itself.
Most couples only start praying, pursuing, and fighting for their marriage when the storm hits.

Gen Z is rewriting the rules on dating, love, and marriage — and the Church can’t afford to ignore it. They’re the most connected generation in history, yet also the most anxious.

In this powerful conversation with God Love Co., we unpack how social media and technology have reshaped how Gen Z sees commitment, intimacy, and faith. Constant comparison, instant validation, and digital “situationships” have created a culture craving authenticity but terrified of vulnerability.

We dive deep into what’s really going on — and how this generation can move from anxious attachment to anchored identity in Christ. It’s raw, real, and full of hope for the future of marriage.

In this video, we dive into a growing crisis facing men in America—especially fathers. Since the pandemic, there's been a noticeable rise in passivity, apathy, and fear of commitment among men, particularly when it comes to marriage and family.

We discuss the spiritual and societal challenges men are facing today, the epidemic of fatherlessness, and the collapse of commitment to family. But there’s also hope—many voices are rising to call men back to purpose, leadership, and authentic masculinity.

What does it really mean for a man to lead his home biblically? In this episode, we break down the often misunderstood concept of spiritual leadership through the lens of Scripture—not culture. Biblical leadership is not about control, dominance, or making all the decisions. It’s about humility, servant-heartedness, sacrificial love, and walking in step with Christ.

We’ll explore practical ways a husband can lead with grace and courage, how leadership impacts the emotional and spiritual climate of the home, and why leadership starts with following Jesus first. Whether you're a husband looking to grow or a wife seeking to support your husband's leadership, this episode brings truth, encouragement, and clarity for the journey.

In this powerful episode, we confront a growing issue in today’s culture: the Church’s silence on the biblical view of marriage. As culture loudly redefines love, gender, and covenant, far too many churches have taken a passive stance, leaving couples without truth, guidance, or support.

We explore what happens when the Church steps back instead of stepping in—and why elevating marriage should be a central mission, not a side conversation. Join us as we challenge ministry leaders, couples, and believers to see marriage not just as a private relationship but as a God-ordained covenant worth fighting for.

Whether your marriage is thriving, struggling, or somewhere in between, this episode will stir your heart, spark meaningful conversations, and call the Church back to its rightful place as a champion of covenant marriage.

Marriage isn’t meant to be a solo act. Trying to live independently while expecting your spouse to just go with it creates distance, frustration, and disconnection. In this episode, we’ll dive into why true freedom comes from unity, not independence, and how shifting from “me” to “we” can transform your marriage.

In this raw and honest episode, we’re diving into the hard truth about sacrifice in marriage—especially when it feels one-sided. Loving your spouse isn’t always easy, and sometimes it might even feel unfair. So how do you keep showing up when you're exhausted, unappreciated, or just plain frustrated?

We’ll talk about what real sacrifice looks like (hint: it’s not just about giving things up), how to navigate seasons of imbalance, and why a strong marriage isn’t built on keeping score. If you’ve ever felt like you’re giving more than you’re getting, this episode is for you.

Join us as we unpack the struggles, the breakthroughs, and the surprising beauty of sacrificial love in marriage.

First comes the wedding, then comes the war. In this episode, Javier talks about how the enemy doesn't care that you're married; he cares if you know the purpose of your marriage. Couples spend so much time fighting one another that they lose sight of the impact their marriage can have on their children, neighbors, and society as a whole.

Hey 24/7 Family! We want to hear from you! Let us know if this podcast is helping your marriage. Have a marriage question, we would love to hear it and answer it on the pod!

Join us as we explore men's responsibility to lead and provide masculine clarity and decisiveness. While it’s true that in marriage, we are to work together and seek to make the best decisions as a team, God ultimately set it up for men to lead within their marriage and family. Too many men have forsaken their responsibility to lead and make decisions, leading their wives to become the masculine, which is not a role they are called to or desire to fulfill. This episode is one you will want to bookmark!

Hey 24/7 Family! We want to hear from you! Let us know if this podcast is helping your marriage. Have a marriage question, we would love to hear it and answer it on the pod!

In marriage, the balance of give and take can shift like the wind, with each spouse sometimes showing more than they receive. In seasons, one spouse may need more support, understanding, or attention, while the other may need to step back and provide that extra care. It's in these moments that true partnership and teamwork shine through, as each person's willingness to adapt and support each other strengthens the bond of love and respect in the marriage.
Listen as the Labs unpack this topic, and you will find out in their marriage who takes up more space.

Forgiveness is a powerful tool that can help us move on from past hurts and heal emotional wounds. While an apology from the person who caused the hurt can be helpful in achieving forgiveness, it is not always necessary.
Giving forgiveness without an apology can be a difficult but important step in the healing process. It allows us to let go of anger, resentment and bitterness and make room for more positive emotions such as compassion and empathy. It can also lead to a greater sense of inner peace and well-being.
Listen as Javier and Shannan unpack this very important topic.

Shannan, from 24/7 Marriage, shares her behavior during the first five years of marriage. It's a trend in today's culture to replace the word sin with sickness and leaves no personal responsibility for people. She unpacks how she blamed everything and everyone for her bad choices and behaviors. Her lightbulb moment came when she had a mentor confront her sinful behavior, and she had to face her choices and take ownership. This is a don't-miss episode.
