Most couples say they’re Christians—but is Jesus truly at the center of their marriage, or just a guest? In this episode, Chris and Jamie explore what it really means to orient your life and marriage around Christ, not just in name, but in everyday action.
We’re unpacking the difference between a marriage that’s influenced by Jesus and one that’s built on Jesus. You’ll learn how to recognize if your relationship is drifting from Him, and practical ways to bring it back on course.
📊 Did you know that while about 65% of Americans claim Christianity, only 4% actually reorient their lives around Jesus? It’s time to make sure our marriages aren’t just labeled “Christian”—but are truly Christ-centered.
🔹 What You'll Learn in This Episode:
- What it means to truly “orient” your life around Jesus
- Signs that Jesus may not be the true center of your marriage
- 5 practical steps to re-center your marriage on Christ
- Why individual spiritual growth matters in a united relationship
- How prayer, scripture, and community can realign your foundation
- A simple weekly question to help keep your marriage from drifting
📖 Key Scriptures Mentioned:
- Matthew 7:24–27 — Building your house on the rock
- Colossians 3:17 — Doing everything in the name of Jesus
- John 15:4–5 — Abide in Christ to bear lasting fruit
- Romans 12:1–2 — Be transformed by renewing your mind
✅ Your Challenge This Week:
Take time with your spouse to answer this question together: “Where in our marriage are we oriented toward Jesus—and where are we not?” Pray together, invite God into the areas that need realignment, and commit to taking one step forward in making Him the true cornerstone of your marriage.
