Rhonda joins us to share her testimony of a restored marriage and to talk honestly about life after restoration. In this episode, she looks back on her standing journey, the lies she had to stop believing, and the ways God strengthened her faith in the waiting.

Rhonda also opens up about the realities of restoration, including forgiveness, healing from the past, the impact on other relationships, and what surprised her most once her marriage was restored.

This conversation offers hope for those still standing and encouragement for anyone who wants to better understand both the journey to restoration and the growth that continues after it.

What if the breakthrough in your marriage starts with seeing it differently?

In this episode, Lori sits down with Dr. Emerson Eggerichs to talk about the powerful "lightbulb moments" that can shift everything. Drawing from decades of counseling couples and biblical insight, Dr. Eggerichs shares how one simple realization can change the direction of a marriage.

If you are standing for your marriage and feel stuck, discouraged, or unsure what God is doing, this conversation will help you step back and see your situation through a new lens.

You will be encouraged to:

· Recognize what God may be revealing in your current season

· Shift your perspective when emotions feel overwhelming

· Find hope, even when nothing seems to be changing

· Take one small step forward in faith

Sometimes, the change you are praying for begins when God gives you an ah-ha moment.

We are bringing back this powerful testimony because its message is still needed today.

After ten years of marriage, Greg and Missy separated when Greg decided he was ready for a break. During that painful season, Missy realized their marriage had been built on unsteady ground instead of the solid rock of Jesus.

Listen as they share their testimony of restoration, how God changed their marriage, and what has changed since restoration. Stay to the end to hear Missy's encouraging advice on remaining steadfast, even when God answers prayer in ways you did not expect.

We are also excited to share that later this summer, Greg and Missy will be joining us again for a new conversation on what God has continued to do in their lives and marriage.

Charlyne and Lori recently gathered with men and women from the Rejoice Marriage Ministries Connect Groups for a powerful Zoom conversation. Together, they talked about spiritual warfare, God's faithfulness, and how to navigate the season of waiting when prayers feel unanswered. Several participants also shared pieces of their personal testimonies.

We wanted to share this episode with you as an encouragement. God has not made a mistake. His eyes are on you, and He is for you. If you are in a season of waiting, do not grow weary. He is still working - even when you cannot see it.

When your marriage feels broken, it can affect you both physically and emotionally.

In this episode of the Fight for Your Marriage Podcast, we welcome Stephanie Franklin-Suber, President and Founder of Rebuild Your Temple, God's Way®, and a certified Christian Health Coach. Stephanie brings powerful testimony and wisdom about what it means to pursue healing God's way, even in the midst of challenging circumstances.

Together, we talk about whole-person healing — body, soul, and spirit — and why emotional and physical health matter when you are standing for your marriage.

If you have been:

• Living in chronic stress
• Struggling with anxiety, exhaustion, or brain fog
• Feeling spiritually drained
• Wondering why this season is taking such a toll on your health

This conversation will help you understand how God designed every part of you to work together — and how caring for your physical and emotional health can actually strengthen your spiritual walk.

Standing for your marriage does not mean neglecting yourself. It means stewarding the temple God has given you while you trust Him for restoration.

You do not have to choose between faith and wellness. God cares about all of you.

When Richy's wife walked away, it felt like everything he had built his life on came crashing down. What looked like the end became the beginning of a deeper work God wanted to do in him.

In this candid conversation, Richy shares what it has been like to stand for his marriage while his spouse is gone, and how God has used this season to awaken his faith and call him into true spiritual leadership. Richy began to recognize areas where he had fallen short as a husband and as a man of God, and how the Lord has been faithfully transforming him from the inside out.

Even though restoration has not yet happened, Richy continues to pray, trust, and stand on God's promises for his covenant marriage. His story is a reminder that God often changes us first by healing, refining, and preparing us before He ever changes our circumstances.

If you are standing for your marriage and wondering if God is still at work, this episode will encourage you to keep believing, keep praying, and keep fighting for what God can do.

During Angela's season of waiting, God transformed her heart, deepened her faith, and drew her closer to Him than ever before. But when the divorce papers arrived, the weight of discouragement settled in, and Angela began to wonder if she had waited in vain.

Then, during her morning devotions, she prayed a bold and specific prayer.

God answered it—immediately.

While Angela was being strengthened in the waiting, the Lord was working on Donny's heart in a way she could never orchestrate. One song on the radio became the moment God used to break through and begin restoring what seemed lost.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that God is never idle, even when we can't see Him moving. If you're standing for your marriage and questioning whether your prayers matter, Donny and Angela's story will encourage you to keep trusting the Lord.

In this powerful episode of the Fight for Your Marriage Podcast, we sit down with Laura to hear her side of a marriage restoration story that has already touched many lives.

You may remember David, who previously shared his journey of standing for his marriage, surrendering his life to the Lord, and allowing God to radically transform his heart. In this episode, his wife, Laura, courageously opens up about what she was experiencing during that season—the pain, confusion, and circumstances that led her to ask David for a divorce.

Laura shares her struggles, the walls she had built, and how God began to work in her heart when she least expected it. Through her testimony, we see how the Lord pursued both spouses individually, bringing healing, conviction, and restoration in His perfect timing.

Today, their marriage has been restored, and Laura's story offers incredible hope for anyone wondering if God is still working behind the scenes—even when restoration feels impossible. This episode is a reminder that God sees both sides of the story, hears every prayer, and is faithful to redeem what feels broken beyond repair.

If you are standing for your marriage or praying for a prodigal to come home, this testimony will encourage you to keep trusting God's plan.
