[S2] EPISODE 14: MARRIAGE GATEKEEPERS

I sat across the table from a man who's about to get married in four months—and what followed was one of the most honest conversations I've ever had on this podcast. He didn’t come with clichés or curated answers. He came with questions. Real ones. The kind that strip the fantasy from marriage and ask what’s actually underneath. Why marriage? Why her? What’s it supposed to shape in us as men? And how do we know we’re not walking into this thing with more ambition than understanding?

In this episode, I don’t come as an expert, but as a husband still learning—still being chiseled. Together, we talk about what marriage reveals about God, about ourselves, and about the kind of love that refuses to quit. We wrestle with the weight of commitment, the humility that comes when your spouse sees the real you, and the joy that can only be found when two sinners choose to stay. We talk interracial love, long-distance strain, friendship before romance, and the terrifying beauty of becoming like Jesus through covenant love.

If you're a man trying to make sense of marriage—whether you're single, dating, engaged, or already in it—this conversation is for you. It’s not polished. It’s not perfect. But it’s real. And if you’re anything like us, you’ll walk away from this episode a little more honest, a little more hopeful, and a little more willing to become the man marriage is calling you to be. Hit play. Let’s talk.
