Team Us: A Christian Marriage Podcast
Ted and Ashleigh SlaterWhy Marriage Isn’t 50/50 or 100/100
January 21, 2025 ● 17 minShare this episode
We unpack the popular myth that marriage is a 50/50 relationship. But we aren’t stopping there. We’ll also talk about how the counter to this 50/50 myth — that marriage needs to be 100/100 — isn’t always realistic either.
TAKE THE “US TIME” CHALLENGE
Ask your spouse practical ways you can encourage them when they aren’t able to give 100 percent.

A Prayer for Peace This Easter - Your Daily Prayer - April 1
You don't have to be afraid you won’t find the perfect Easter outfit, or have perfectly well-behaved children, or know exactly what to say at the dinner prayer. Honoring the resurrection is admitting and embracing a victorious freedom — to receive the peace of Jesus.
