Revive Our Hearts Podcast

Leslie Basham: Is your marriage strong enough to go through dry times? Here’s Dennis Rainey.

Dennis Rainey: When you go through a period of intense suffering, there isn’t room for romance. And there’s where the culture lies to us, because a lot of life is going to be lived in the midst of storms.

That’s why your house has to be built on Jesus Christ and the commitment, “Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain who build it” (Ps. 127:1 NASB). I think this area of marriage gets idealized to the point of not even thinking through what’s going to come at you as a couple in life.

You say, “for better or for worse,” but then what do you do when it happens? A lot of life is lived outside of that romantic ideal that Hollywood tells us exists all the time.
