Marriage is not collapsing by accident, it is under deliberate, sustained assault. In this episode, we name the threats plainly: pornography, feminism, careerism, and secular norms (among others) that have reshaped desire, reordered priorities, and hollowed out covenant faithfulness.
Drawing from Scripture, we argue that these forces are not neutral cultural trends, but spiritually charged powers working against God’s design for marriage.
We walk through each threat carefully, exposing how pornography corrodes intimacy and trust, how feminism has discipled women away from marriage and motherhood, how careerism turns households into afterthoughts, and how secular norms weaken covenant through individualism, cohabitation, and anti-child sentiment.
We purposefully closed this episode with a clear call to action: identify the threats, root them out, and rebuild marriages rooted in truth, presence, and ordered love.
Building faithful households represents a truly defiant act in a collapsing world. That means you’ll be working against the grain. But, it’s worth it!
This episode’s sponsor is The Old Forge Press.
The Old Forge Press publishes books for Christians who refuse to outsource their thinking or surrender their households to the age.
If you are a man or woman who believe doctrine matters, marriage is worth defending, and the Christian home is the front line of spiritual formation, then you’ll want to see the bundles they’ve built for us below.
They have kindly put together two bundles (one for men and one for women) that include With Fire in Our Bones, What Became of Clara Vaughn (women), Towers at War (men), and The Dust We Leave Behind.
Everyone should run out purchase these bundles. Like-minded businesses are hard to find, so when you do, support them.
