how to stay newlywed

How do you stay “newlywed” after decades of marriage?

In this episode of The Marriage Show, Butch and Julieann Hartman dive into what it really takes to keep your marriage fresh, connected, and centered on Christ — even after 30+ years together.

Drawing from over three decades of marriage, they share honest stories about the early years, the challenges of independence and pride, and the biblical principles that transformed their relationship. From learning to communicate better, rebuilding trust, and showing respect, to renewing your mind through Scripture and becoming your spouse’s biggest encourager, this episode is filled with practical Christian marriage advice you can apply right away.

Marriage isn’t about chasing feelings — it’s about choosing love daily. It’s about gratitude, forgiveness, intentional connection, and remembering that you’re building a legacy together. In a culture that often undermines family and commitment, Butch and Julieann offer faith-based relationship guidance rooted in Ephesians 5, 1 Peter 4:8, and Romans 12:2.

If you’re looking for biblical marriage principles, Christian relationship help, or practical ways to strengthen communication, restore passion, and avoid falling into a rut, this conversation will encourage you.

Communicating with your spouse

Are you tired of feeling unheard, misunderstood, or constantly “at odds” with your spouse?

In this premiere episode of The Marriage Show, Butch & Julieann Hartman dive into one of the most important foundations of a thriving marriage: communication. With humor, honesty, and real-life stories from their 33-year journey, they share how miscommunication, pride, offense, and independence nearly tore them apart — and how putting Jesus at the center transformed everything.

If you’ve ever wondered:
-Why does every disagreement turn into a battle?
-Why do I feel like my spouse isn’t listening?
-Why is it so hard to admit I’m wrong?

This episode is for you.

💡 Key Takeaways:
-Why listening is more powerful than “fixing” (Proverbs 18:13)
-How pride quietly damages communication
-The danger of offense in marriage (Luke 17:1)
-Why being “right” can cost you intimacy
-How trust and shared unity strengthen connection
-What it truly means to “die to yourself” in marriage (Matthew 16:24)

Butch & Julieann openly share how they nearly lost their marriage in the early years — including separation — and how learning to communicate with humility and faith restored their relationship.

Marriage is not about winning. It’s about unity.
