Why Healthy Marriages Require Community: David & Lori Benham
About this episode
In a world where the currents of culture and the busyness of life can pull a marriage apart, how does a couple stay unified and on mission? It's easy to drift into living like roommates, a challenge Gabe and Rebekah know well. That's why they were so excited to sit down with their dear friends, David and Lori Benham.
The Benhams share a powerful story of building a marriage that doesn't just survive cultural pressure, but thrives in the midst of it. In this conversation, they discuss the essential rhythms they've built to protect their connection, the importance of maintaining a Kingdom-first mindset, and the practical steps they take to ensure their family is a light in their community.
For any couple looking for wisdom on how to live with intention, pursue holiness together, and build a lasting legacy, this conversation is a wellspring of encouragement.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why building your marriage on a shared, Kingdom-first mission is essential
- Daily rhythms that protect your unity and purpose as a couple
- What biblical submission and servant leadership truly look like in practice
- How to tackle problems from the ‘same side of the table’ to resolve conflict
