Episode 151 - Four Marriage Trends You Can’t Ignore in 2025
Manage episode 514976871 series 3449023
In this episode of More Than Roommates, Derek, Gabrielle, and Scott unpack four marriage trends—crisis of resilience, digital disconnect, financial anxiety, and blurred lines between work and home—and offer practical ways to push back with biblical wisdom. We hope this episode helps you move from “roommates” to a joy-filled, God-honoring marriage.
Scriptures:
1 Cor 7:28
John 16:33
MT 7:24-27
Col 3:23
1 Cor 10:31
Jeremiah 17:5-8
Questions to Discuss:
1. Where have we expected marriage to be “easy,” and how can we build grit (perseverance + hope) together this month?
2. What are our top two phone/tech boundaries for date nights, evenings, and weekends? (Be specific: chargers, baskets, Focus modes, no-phone zones.)
3. What’s driving our financial anxiety—math, lifestyle, or comparison? What’s one action we’ll take this week (budget meeting, cut a subscription, set a savings/giving goal)?
4. How are our work/home lines blurred right now? Name one habit to protect family time (e.g., no email after 6pm, a daily shutdown ritual, office hours).
