Wondering how to keep your marriage strong, faithful, and fun? In our newest A Purpose-Driven Marriage episode, we dive into five powerful ways to “affair-proof” your marriage!

These practical, easy-to-apply “guardrails” can help keep your marriage on the right track, no matter what life throws your way!

Ready for a sneak peek? Here are five examples of key strategies we discuss:

1. Set Up “Guardrails” to Keep Your Marriage Safe
Think of “guardrails” as your marriage’s built-in safety barriers—just like those on a winding road. We talk about setting boundaries with people outside your marriage, especially of the opposite sex, so you and your spouse stay connected. When you’re clear on what’s okay and what’s not, it’s easier to protect your relationship.

2. Watch Those DMs and Texts!
Ever feel like social media and texting are like digital quicksand? You’re not alone! In this episode, we chat about why it’s crucial to keep work messages professional and involve your spouse in any conversations that start to feel too personal. A little social media savvy can go a long way toward building trust!

3. Tech Transparency: Why Sharing Access is Key
Sharing is caring—and that goes for tech, too! We discuss why being open with your spouse about passwords, photos, and even location-sharing can create a deeper level of trust. When you know your partner’s got your back, it’s easier to focus on the important stuff.

4. Make Time for Each Other—It’s Essential!
Keeping your relationship strong means regular date nights, shared hobbies, and time together just to laugh and enjoy each other. Whether it’s a long walk or a Netflix binge session, those moments build closeness and rekindle the connection. Plus, we talk about the importance of physical intimacy and praying together for a well-rounded approach to bonding.

5. Focus on the Positives and Stay Aware
This one’s big: mindset matters! In this episode, we dig into the power of positive thinking and why focusing on what you *love* about your partner can help build a healthier, happier marriage. And yes, staying aware of temptations is essential, too—being proactive about potential pitfalls is a key part of building a relationship that lasts.
