About this listen

 The devil hates families. He hates covenant. He hates stability, safety, and generational healing. Does it seem like every conversation leads to an explosion? Let’s discuss the escalation loop that can drain the joy out of your marriage and learn how to identify and combat the real enemy! TRANSCRIPT The Invisible Fight for Your Marriage Theme: Spiritual Warfare in Marriage Scripture Focus: Ephesians 6:12, 2 Corinthians 10:4 INTRODUCTION — The Wake-Up Call You’ve read every marriage book on the shelf. You’ve sat on the counsellor’s couch until you’re emotionally exhausted. You’ve softened your tone. You’ve stopped asking for too much. You’ve prayed, you’ve waited, you’ve shrunk yourself to keep the peace… And yet — the house still feels like it’s on fire. Let me ask you something gently, but honestly. What if you’re not fighting your husband at all? What if the exhaustion you feel isn’t relational failure — but spiritual resistance? What if you’re standing in a war room, trying to fight a spirit with a spreadsheet… Using communication tools for a battle that requires spiritual authority? Today, we’re talking about the invisible fight for your marriage. This episode is not about blaming your spouse. It’s about waking up discernment. It’s about calling intercessors back to their posts. Before we go any further — if this episode already feels like it’s reading your mail, pause for a second. Hit subscribe, leave a comment telling me where you’re listening/reading from, and share this with a sister who’s quietly fighting for her home. This message needs to reach the women who are tired of surface answers. BODY POINT 1 — The Three-Part Human & the Three-Part Marriage To understand why your marriage feels like a battlefield, we need to go back to foundation. " you have to understand who you are. As an African woman, this concept is second nature to me, and the Bible confirms it: Man is essentially a spirit, who has a soul, and lives in a body. Scripture is clear — you are a spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body. And your marriage reflects that same three-part design. 1️⃣ The Physical Layer This is what most couples focus on: BillsChoresSexParenting logisticsWho did what, who didn’t This is Important — but not central. 2️⃣ The Soul Layer This is where therapy usually sits: EmotionsCommunication stylesAttachment patternsPersonality clashes Still important — but still not the root. 3️⃣ The Spiritual Layer This is the foundation of one flesh. This is where covenant lives. This is where unity is either protected or attacked. Now pay attention to what I’m about to say, in fact write this down: If you only work on behaviour and emotions, but ignore the spiritual layer, you leave the most important door wide open. You can regulate your tone. You can read your attachment style. You can learn conflict scripts. But if your marriage is under spiritual pressure — behavioural change alone won’t hold. You end up trying to fix a spiritual leak with emotional duct tape. And eventually… it fails. III. BODY POINT 2 — The Red Flags of Spiritual Warfare The devil hates families. He hates covenant. He hates stability, safety, and generational healing. And no — saying “I do” does not make you immune. If anything, marriage puts a target on your back. Lets move forward quickly, How do you know if you are under spiritual warfare? : here are four signs that what you’re facing is more than a personality clash: 🚩 1. The Escalation Loop Simple conversations escalates quickly or explode. For instance, You start talking about dishes… And suddenly you’re fighting about respect, worth, and past wounds. Afterwards You walk away exhausted, feeling guilt or ashamed, and emotionally bruised because of what you said or how you behaved — every time. 🚩 2. Another sign is The Counselling Wall When You’ve done therapy or couple counselling. and You’ve implemented strategies. But the atmosphere in your home doesn’t shift. instead YOUR Insight increases — but your intimacy doesn’t. 🚩sign no 3. Strategy Fatigue When You’ve changed your tone. for example You’ve stopped “nagging.” You’ve tried silence, softness, and self-improvement. Yet the home still feels heavy. 🚩sign no 4. The Blind Spot Everyone else can see a clear issue in your spouse — but he genuinely cannot. Or he Minimises it. Deflects or Spiritual numbness. That’s often not stubbornness — it’s a stronghold. Let me say this clearly: When common sense fails and counselling stalls, you are not dealing with immaturity. You are dealing with spiritual resistance. BODY POINT 3 — Let me introduce you to Your New Job Description: Intercessor It is time to stop discussing your marriage problems with every 'well-meaning' person. Unless that person is ready to go into the trenches of midnight prayer and fasting with you, they are just noise. Your ...
