Marriage Q&A Part 3: Biblical Truth on Divorce, Forgiveness and Intimacy Boundaries | Under God Podcast Episode 252
What does the Bible really say about divorce after infidelity? How do you honor God in a marriage with an unbelieving spouse? Can you actually sin in the marriage bed?
In this powerful continuation of our Strong Marriage Conference Q&A series, Pastor Stephen Martin and Pastor Nathan Brown tackle six of the most challenging marriage questions Christians face today. With over two decades of pastoral experience and real-world marriage wisdom, they deliver biblical truth that cuts through cultural confusion.
What You'll Discover:
✅ Why God permits divorce as a concession but never commands it—and what that means for your situation
✅ The four entities involved in every Christian marriage and why the church must be part of your restoration
✅ Pastor Stephen's personal testimony about his parents' marriage surviving infidelity and becoming one of the strongest he's ever seen
✅ How to relate to adult children in blended families through influence rather than control
✅ Biblical wisdom for the spouse married to an unbeliever—straight from 1 Peter 3:1
✅ Three clear frameworks for evaluating intimacy boundaries: Is it lawful? Is it helpful? Is it harmful or enslaving?
This episode addresses real questions from real couples wrestling with real pain. Whether you're facing the aftermath of betrayal, navigating a blended family, or simply wanting to build a stronger biblical foundation, this conversation provides the practical wisdom and scriptural grounding you need.
