On today's episode we dive into the most common trends about marriage online: the rise of 'trad wives' and oversharing about your marriage.

We offer a biblical perspective about:

Why the 'trad wife' movement is becoming less about traditional homemaking and more about an illusion of what the ideal wife and homemaker should look like online.
Why oversharing about marriage online is dishonouring your spouse and giving undeserving people a peek into something that should be kept private or known to trusted people.
Why we as Christians should be cautious and wise about the type of content we consume to avoid coveting and stirring up jealousy or pride.
How we can be prayerful and discerning about the way God has called us to live, despite how other marriages may be portrayed online.
