Many people enter marriage expecting their spouse to meet their deepest needs...but that often leads to frustration, disappointment, and instability.

In this episode of the Grace Marriage Podcast, Brad sits down with Chris and Tammy Morgan who share how shifting their identity from each other to Christ transformed their relationship.

They unpack a powerful truth: Marriage is NOT about finding a soulmate to be your savior.

When identity and worth are placed on a spouse, the relationship becomes fragile. When both individuals are rooted in Christ, marriage becomes a place of stability, joy, and deep friendship.
