Episode 193: Stay or Go? Reigniting Passion and Love in Marriage
This powerful follow-up episode of Breaking Chains goes deeper into the heart of intimacy—unpacking why passion fades in marriage and what it really takes to reignite desire, connection, and unity with your spouse.
Christine gets real about the myth that love is a feeling, calling out the lies that keep couples disconnected, distracted, and divided. If you’ve ever found yourself saying, “I love them, but I’m not in love with them anymore,” or “We’ve become roommates,”—this episode is for you.
We’re flipping the script on emotional complacency and uncovering the truth about dopamine addiction, emotional drift, and the slow fade that leads people outside the marriage looking for adventure, affection, or aliveness. You’ll be challenged, encouraged, and equipped to co-create a relationship rooted in purpose, presence, and holy passion.
Whether you’re longing to feel alive again in your marriage or ready to stop settling for less than what God designed for your union, this message will stir your spirit and activate a new standard of love and intimacy.
Key Takeaways:
🔥 Why love is not a feeling—and what it actually is
🔥 How dopamine addiction kills desire and sabotages intimacy
🔥 The truth behind affairs, boredom, and unmet emotional needs
🔥 Practical ways to bring back passion, variety, and fire to your marriage
🔥 Why adventure + shared mission are essential to lasting connection
🔥 How to speak life over your marriage and ask God for renewed desire
