What if it's a spiritual battle you can't see?In this episode of Midlife Marriage Makeover, I'm talking about one of the most overlooked reasons Christian couples struggle with intimacy, connection, and desire: spiritual warfare in marriage. Marriage matters deeply to God, and because it matters to God, it becomes a target for the enemy.I'm sharing a very personal story about a spiritual attack I experienced during one of the sweetest seasons of my own marriage.
