In this heartfelt episode, Pastor Tyler and Crystal Tullos share insights from their 21 years of marriage, highlighting their early struggles and major conflicts, such as a significant disagreement over whether to sleep with a ceiling fan or not. They emphasize the importance of fighting for God’s best, focusing on crucial aspects of life, and maintaining sexual purity more so than fighting with each other. With a mix of humor and serious advice, they address married couples, singles, and those struggling with divorce or past trauma. The discussion touches on practical steps for maintaining a healthy marriage, the power of intimacy, and the perspective shift required to see one’s spouse not as the enemy but as a partner in facing external challenges.
