In this raw and truth-filled episode, we expose the spiritual deception behind this hidden plan and the damage it does to hearts, homes, and generations.
Whether you’re the one planning to leave, or the one sensing something is wrong, this episode will help you confront the lies, find healing, and invite God to restore what’s been broken.

In this episode of the Covenant Army Marriage Podcast, we confront one of the most painful dynamics in marriage—when a wife courageously shares her hurt, but instead of being heard, she’s met with anger, blame, or defensiveness. What begins as an attempt to bring healing often turns into another wound, leaving her voice buried under silence and frustration.
We expose the enemy’s lie that a woman’s feelings are “too much” or “inconvenient” and remind husbands of their high calling to love like Christ—listening with humility and guarding their wife’s heart with honor. We remind wives that their voice matters and their words are not an attack but a gift of hope for closeness and restoration.
Through Scripture, truth, and practical steps, we equip couples to break the cycle of defensiveness, lean into listening, and embrace communication as a path to intimacy rather than division. This episode is a call to both husbands and wives: stop burying pain under anger or silence, and start building covenant unity by listening, honoring, and responding in love.

In this raw and necessary episode of the Covenant Army Marriage Podcast, Brent and Lucy tackle a battle that many couples face but rarely talk about: using sex as a weapon in marriage. Whether it’s out of anger, hurt, control, or manipulation, withholding intimacy isn’t just emotional sabotage, it’s spiritual warfare.
Drawing from 1 Corinthians 7:5, we unpack how intentional deprivation opens the door to temptation, resentment, and division. God designed intimacy not only for pleasure but as protection, a shield of unity that guards your marriage from the enemy’s schemes.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in a cycle of disconnection or have allowed your emotions to dictate your availability, this episode is your call to repent, reconnect, and restore your covenant.
What You’ll Learn:
• The danger of withholding intimacy
• Why emotional and physical distance feeds spiritual vulnerability
• How to rebuild trust and restore healthy rhythms of connection
• What mutual submission really looks like in the bedroom
It’s time to stop starving each other, and start fighting with each other, not against each other.
