But when you find yourself in one of these low points in marriage and you're thinking about walking away, know this - we've all been there, and it will get better. Hey, we wouldn't have to take a vow before God that "until death do us part" if this marriage thing were supposed to be easy! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/mensalliancetribe/support

Most people think prepping is about water, food, medical gear, or a bug-out plan. But if you prep alone, you’re setting yourself up to lose everything the moment you need to sleep, get sick, or get injured.The #1 prep is brotherhood—a tribe. Ecclesiastes says a cord of three strands is not easily broken. In a crisis, that’s not just spiritual… it’s practical.Men’s Alliance doesn’t just build strong men. It builds tribes—and that’s the best prep you can have.Follow Men's AllianceInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/mensalliancetribe/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/mensalliancetribeTiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@mensalliancetribeWebsite - https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/Explore Battlefield Coaching today and find yourself a Coach with experience overcoming a battle you are currently facing - https://battlefieldcoaching.comOrder the Book - Answer With Truth: The Ambassador’s Field Manual for Leading Your Family Spiritually - https://amzn.to/3BmnuKV

Listening is not just about hearing others, but listening to yourself and knowing your intentions. When listening to others we should limit our words and not speak because we want to be heard. When speaking, we should focus only on speaking words that are relevant.Support MA:MA Experiences: https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/experiencesFinancial Support: https://www.mensalliancetribe.com/supportSubscribe and give a 5 star rating on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@mensalliancetribeSponsor: Tom 'Doc' Love CFP®, CRPC®, CRPS® [email protected] Craig Heah.
