How We Walk Through Trials and Hardships in Marriage

How to walk through trials and hardships in marriage: recorded in 2020 amid the COVID lockdown and a trial of their own, Aaron and Jennifer Smith share a practical, Scripture-saturated framework for couples facing hardship. Respond in the Spirit, not the flesh. Pray first, leaning on Romans 12:12, Philippians 4:6-7, and the peace of God. Remain steadfast in the Word of God rather than your own strength, knowledge, or abilities. They also talk about praise and worship in hard seasons, staying present in the body of believers instead of isolating, being there for your spouse without treating them as your savior, and embracing humbling, with the Red Sea and the plague of darkness as pictures, because sometimes the Lord's way is through the water. James 1:2-4 and 1 Peter 4:12 remind us trials should not surprise us.
