Description
Idolizing Your Marriage Leads to Brokenness and Adopting the World's False Labels In this powerful episode of The Established Family Podcast, we confront a dangerous pattern that is tearing marriages apart: ..."idolizing your spouse and adopting the world’s false labels for sin." When we place our spouse or marriage on a pedestal, we set ourselves up for disappointment and brokenness. Worse yet, the world often offers counterfeit solutions, giving sin new names and labels that sound helpful but only keep us stuck. Join me as we explore: Why relying on worldly labels like "spousal neglect" or "narcissism" can be spiritually damaging. The truth behind false idols such as therapists, self-help books, and even church leaders. The spiritual implications of placing anything above God’s design for your marriage. How codependency on your spouse or worldly solutions hinders true healing and growth. Why only God’s promises can free you from the destructive cycles in your marriage. Scriptural References: Acts 28:26-27 – “You will keep on hearing, but will not understand...” Romans 8:6 – “For the mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.” Proverbs 3:5 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” If you're tired of searching for healing in all the wrong places, this episode will help you realign your heart and mind to God's truth and design. Let’s break free from the labels and idols that keep us in bondage and embrace the spiritual clarity needed for restoration.
