Marriage Restoration: Is it Your Heart or Your Story That Needs Healing?

In this episode of the Redeemed Marriage Podcast, Rusty and Heather discuss heart transformation in the journey of marriage restoration. They share how true healing isn't just about fixing the marriage, but about personal and spiritual changes that must happen within each spouse.
Are you only focused on the details of your story, and not what God is trying to do in your heart? Listen as they discuss how they came to realize that God wanted their hearts first, and the rest, including their marriage, followed suit. 
How do you move past the details of betrayal and focus on the deeper, personal change God wants to bring about in you? What does it look like to put your complete trust in Christ during marriage struggles? How do you pray effectively when it seems like your marriage is too far gone?
Learn how to look beyond your story to find freedom and healing for both you and your spouse as you walk alongside Christ. Whether you're in the middle of a crisis or seeking deeper intimacy, this episode will help you pursue heart change for a healthier, more God-honoring marriage.

Changing Needs in Marriage: The Impact of Time, Trauma, and Life's Seasons

Has your marriage felt different lately? Maybe the needs you and your spouse had when you first said "I do" have changed. In this episode of the Redeemed Marriage Podcast, join Rusty and Heather Bryant as they explore how individual needs shift due to time, the changing seasons of life, and the impact of betrayal and trauma.
Your initial expectations may not align with where you and your spouse are today. Understanding that your needs can evolve is the first step towards a more intimate and fulfilling relationship. Discover how love languages like acts of service, quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, and physical touch can shift and affect your marital connection. You'll also be able to see the importance of recognizing how these changes impact each other, and why you may need to lean more into certain areas to truly feel loved and connected.
Rusty and Heather share some of their own journey of navigating changing needs, giving you a peek into their real experience with how they've communicated and continued building a more meaningful marriage over the years, particularly after infidelity.
