One careless comment, one viral post, one bitter voice—sometimes that’s all it takes to plant doubt in a marriage.
In this episode of Finding Love, Jenni & Stephen Hendrix unpack how outside voices, social media, and even “friends” can influence the way we see our spouse and ourselves. From postpartum depletion to the seven-year itch, to the way marriage is talked about in today’s culture, the warning is clear: be careful who you let speak into your marriage.
This isn’t just about gossip—it’s about protecting your relationship, your peace, and your legacy from voices that don’t carry love or wisdom.
