From “I Do” to “We Still Do”: Building a Marriage on Layers of Commitment

Art of Spousing

Commitment in marriage is so much deeper than just staying under the same roof. In this episode of The Art of Spousing, James and Lisa Duvall explore what it really means to build a lifelong marriage rooted in intentional, daily choices. They unpack the four layers of commitment—personal, moral, spiritual, and structural—and share how couples can move from surviving to thriving, even when seasons get tough. You'll also hear real stories, biblical encouragement, and practical tools you can start using today to strengthen your "we still do."

Whether you're newlyweds or seasoned partners, this conversation will help you cultivate a marriage that lasts — and inspires.
