In this episode of the Covenant Army Marriage Podcast, Brent and Lucy Howell deliver a clear, convicting call to action for husbands and wives. This is not about entertainment. These are marching orders for covenant couples who are serious about honoring God and protecting their marriage.

The heart of the episode centers on a growing concern with dishonor in the way spouses speak to and about one another. What culture laughs off as sarcasm, jokes, or harmless fun, God calls poison. Words are never neutral. According to Scripture, they reveal the condition of the heart and either build a home or slowly tear it down.

In this hard-hitting Covenant Army Marriage episode, we confront a painful but common reality-many people let themselves go in their marriage, and don’t start taking care of themselves, physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually, until after their marriage has already fallen apart. We unpack why this happens, how complacency slowly kills connection, and why pain becomes a wake-up call for so many who ignored the call to grow inside their covenant.
