BYHM152 | You Can’t Call It Marriage Just Because It Sounds Better Than ‘Affair’
Manage episode 486637100 series 3367638
How does this even make sense? Husband. Wife. Boyfriend. Jealousy.
It sounds like a tabloid headline—but it’s real. A married woman proudly talks about her long-term boyfriend and even claims her husband is jealous of her boyfriend.
In this episode, we unpack how culture has twisted the sacredness of marriage, giving adultery a new name: “polyamory.”
But let’s be clear—just because you rename something doesn’t mean it stops being sin.
This episode isn’t just about her situation. It’s a cautionary tale for all of us.
When we compromise on God’s design, the consequences ripple through generations—especially our children.
🎯 What You’ll Learn:
- Why redefining marriage as “open” is more dangerous than it looks.
- How emotional and spiritual erosion happens subtly—even in “loving” relationships.
- What you, as a Christian wife, can do to protect your home, your heart, and your legacy.
🔑 “This is just one of the ideas I teach inside the 5 pillars of the Joyful Marriage Quest. Imagine what your marriage could look like with ALL five!”
📖 Bible Verses Mentioned:
- Hebrews 13:4 – “Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure…”
- Proverbs 14:1 – “The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down.”
- Psalm 23 – “He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”
- Matthew 19:5 – “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”
🧠 Three Key Takeaways:
✅ Just because the world normalizes something doesn’t make it right.
✅ Reframing sin with softer language still leads to destruction.
✅ A joyful, connected marriage begins with reclaiming God’s design—one man, one woman, one commitment.
