Art of Spousing

Decision-making is a daily reality in marriage—sometimes small (what’s for dinner?) and sometimes huge (where do we live?). But if we’re not intentional, making decisions together can turn into a battleground or a passive-aggressive standoff.

In this episode, we explore how to make decisions as a team, even when you and your spouse see things differently. We’ll walk through practical tools to navigate different decision-making styles, how to build a bridge between future-oriented and present-oriented spouses, and how to seek unity even when you disagree. You’ll also hear some of our personal stories (including Lisa’s hilarious “no snakes or orange shag carpet” church move requirements) and biblical wisdom to help you grow in this crucial area of marriage.

Key Takeaways:
✅ Biblical unity isn’t about thinking alike—it’s about thinking together.
✅ Identify your decision-making style and learn how to complement each other.
✅ Build a bridge between your perspectives instead of dragging your spouse across the gap.
✅ When you don’t see eye to eye, focus on listening, compromise, and trust.
✅ Who gets the final say? We unpack biblical leadership and servant-hearted decision-making.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have practical strategies to make decisions together in a way that strengthens—not stresses—your marriage.
