Book Release Week!
Book Launch Week: Why We Wrote Together On Purpose This week, we're celebrating the release of our new book, Together On Purpose! After years of traveling, speaking, and sharing the hope of Jesus with couples across the country, we kept asking ourselves one question: How can we help couples continue building their marriages long after the event is over? That question eventually led to a book. In this special episode, we're looking back at what God has done through our live events and more than 100 podcast episodes, sharing why we believe marriage matters so deeply, and reading a few favorite selections from Together On Purpose. There are stories, laughter, and some heartfelt reflections on what it means to discover God's purpose for your marriage. Because a wedding is an event, but a marriage is a lifetime. And we believe God has something beautiful in mind for yours. Get the book: carlandheather.com Support the ministry: carlandheather.com/give Thanks for being part of this journey with us.

Episode 106: Does Your Spouse Really Know You?
Does Your Spouse Really Know You? | The Power of Vulnerability in Marriage You can share a home, a bed, a bank account, and decades of memories with someone—and still keep parts of yourself hidden. So here's a question worth asking: Does your spouse really know you? Most of us want to be deeply loved, but being deeply known? That's a little more frightening. We hide our fears, our insecurities, our disappointments, and our struggles. Sometimes we call it being strong. Sometimes we tell ourselves we're protecting our spouse. But what if the very walls we've built to protect ourselves are keeping us from the intimacy we're longing for? In this episode of Carl and Heather Present, we're having an honest conversation about vulnerability in marriage—why it's so difficult, why it matters, and how learning to lower your guard can change your relationship. Heather shares a personal realization about years of suppressing her emotions, Carl opens up about a painful season of professional disappointment, and we share a deeply personal story about Carl's father that reveals how choosing mercy over self-protection can open the door to healing. In this conversation, we'll explore: Why you can be married for decades and still feel emotionally disconnected. How hiding your feelings can quietly create distance in your marriage. Why vulnerability isn't weakness—it's courage. How to create a marriage where it's safe to be honest, even when life is hard. One simple, practical step you can take this week to build deeper intimacy with your spouse. Because here's what we believe: You can't be fully loved if you refuse to be fully known. And sometimes, the best marriage you've ever had begins with one honest conversation. ❤️ OUR CALL TO AFFECTION This week, tell your spouse one thing you've been afraid to share. It doesn't have to be dramatic. Start small. Be honest. And if your spouse opens up to you, resist the urge to fix, correct, or defend. Just listen. 📖 PRE-ORDER OUR NEW BOOK: TOGETHER ON PURPOSE!

Episode 105: Am I Married To A Narcissist w/ Dr. Dave Ralston
How do you know the difference between a hard marriage…and an unhealthy one? This week, we sit down with Christian counselor and author Dr. Dave Ralston for a candid conversation about narcissistic patterns in marriage, emotional immaturity, manipulation, boundaries, biblical submission, and what happens when one spouse refuses to take responsibility for the harm they’re causing. Dr. Dave has counseled thousands of women who describe remarkably similar experiences: blame-shifting, gaslighting, stonewalling, emotional manipulation, and slowly losing their sense of identity inside their marriage. We talk about why Christian women can sometimes confuse biblical submission with tolerating destructive behavior, how Scripture can be weaponized inside a marriage, and why protecting your heart is not the same thing as punishing your spouse. We also ask some difficult questions: Can a narcissistic husband really change? What does a healthy boundary actually look like? What’s the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation? How can you tell the difference between an imperfect spouse and a repeated pattern of emotional harm? And when has the cost become so great that separation may need to be considered? If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this just a difficult season—or is something seriously wrong in my marriage?” this conversation may help bring clarity. Dr. Dave Ralston is the founder of Life Training Christian Counseling and author of The Five Life Languages. He helps individuals and couples pursue emotional and spiritual health through practical tools grounded in biblical truth. Learn more at LifeTrainingCounseling.org.

Episode 104: Witchcraft and Your Marriage
Have we become so concerned about “over-spiritualizing” our problems that we’ve actually started over-naturalizing them? The Bible describes a very real spiritual world. Paul tells us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, that the devil has schemes, and that followers of Jesus should put on the whole armor of God. So what does that mean for marriage? In this episode, Carl and Heather take an honest look at witchcraft, sorcery, spiritual warfare, manipulation, control, and the battle surrounding our marriages and families. They explore what Scripture actually says about occult practices and spiritual opposition, including Galatians 5, Ephesians 6, Acts 16, and the broader biblical pattern of divination, sorcery, and seeking supernatural power or guidance apart from God. They also turn the conversation inward. Our fallen nature wants control, and manipulation, intimidation, and domination can show up much closer to home than we might like to admit. So before we start identifying “witchcraft” in somebody else, maybe we need to look in the mirror. Most importantly, this episode is not a call to fear. It’s a call for husbands and wives to become spiritually awake—to pray, forgive, bless one another, establish healthy boundaries, resist evil, and stand confidently in the victory of Jesus. Because Scripture tells us to put on armor—not pajamas. And sometime today, check in with your spouse and ask: “How are you really doing—and how can I pray for you?” Together On Purpose: Why God Brought You Together—and What to Do Next is available now at CarlandHeather.com.

Behind The Book: Together On Purpose
What does it actually take to write a marriage book…with your spouse? In this special behind-the-scenes episode, Carl and Heather take you inside the story of their new book, Together On Purpose: Why God Brought You Together—and What to Do Next. Recorded on location in Tampa, Florida, while speaking at a Weekend to Remember marriage getaway, Carl and Heather interview each other about the process of writing the book—and share some of the stories, ideas, and surprises that shaped it along the way. Why does the world need another marriage book? Who did they picture sitting across the table while they were writing? What do they understand about marriage now that they didn't understand when they said “I do”? What does it really mean for a couple to have a purpose? And did writing a marriage book together actually make being married easier…or harder? They also pull back the curtain on some of the details behind Together On Purpose—including the hardest parts of writing it, the meaning behind the cover, the “Call to Affection,” and what they hope happens when a couple reaches the final page, closes the book, and looks at each other. If you've been curious about Together On Purpose, this is the episode that tells you the story behind the book—and why Carl and Heather believe God didn't simply bring you together to stay together. He brought you together on purpose. TOGETHER ON PURPOSE — AVAILABLE NOVEMBER 1 Pre-orders are open now at CarlandHeather.com.

Episode 102: What Technology Is Doing To Your Family
Technology isn’t just changing how we communicate. It’s shaping our marriages, our parenting, our attention—and even the way our kids are being discipled. In this episode of *Carl and Heather Present*, we sit down with Jesse and Sarah Siegand of **Preserve the Church** to talk about what technology is doing to Christian families and how parents can respond with wisdom, courage, and intention. This isn’t just a conversation about screen-time limits. It’s about a much bigger question: **Who—or what—is discipling your family?** We talk about: • The hidden ways phones can create distance in marriage • What parents should consider before giving a child their first smartphone • Why our own technology habits matter more than we may realize • How algorithms, entertainment, and constant connectivity can shape our children’s values • What “digital discipleship” actually looks like in a Christian home • Practical boundaries Jesse and Sarah have used with their own family • How Scripture can guide the way we think about attention, wisdom, self-control, and technology • What families can start changing this week And ultimately, we ask: **If the goal isn’t simply less screen time, what are we trying to make more room for?** More connection. More conversation. More presence. More prayer. More Scripture. More attention to the people God has placed right in front of us. Technology isn’t going away—but we can become much more intentional about the kind of marriage, family, faith, and legacy we’re building in the middle of it. If you’re trying to raise kids who can think biblically, recognize the pressures of the culture around them, and carry their faith into adulthood, this conversation is for you. **Watch to the end, then ask your family this question:** *What is technology helping us become—and what might it be keeping us from?* Subscribe to *Carl and Heather Present* for honest conversations about marriage, family, faith, and how to build a life together on purpose.

Episode 101: 5 Reg Flags To Watch For In Your Marriage
In this episode, Carl and Heather talk about five red flags that may be telling you it’s time to pay attention to your marriage: negative words, disappearing sexual intimacy, unforgiveness, spiritual apathy, and isolation from community. But this isn’t an episode about declaring your marriage broken. It’s about noticing the warning lights before unhealthy patterns simply become “normal.” What does it feel like to be on the receiving end of your words? What happens when physical intimacy disappears? Can unforgiveness keep the past in control of your present? Can two Christians have a marriage that isn’t actually Christ-centered? And does anybody outside your marriage really know how the two of you are doing? Carl and Heather look at each of these questions through the lens of Scripture and talk about the healthier things God invites couples to pursue instead: blessing, intimacy, grace, devotion, and community. If you want a marriage that doesn’t simply survive but continues moving toward God and toward each other, this conversation is for you. If this episode encouraged you, don’t just move on—join us.

Episode 99: Doubting Your Faith?
Can you have genuine faith and still experience genuine doubt? When Christian leaders fail, prayers seem unanswered, life doesn’t make sense, or something you’ve always believed suddenly feels uncertain, questions can begin creeping in: Is God really who I thought He was? Can I actually trust Him? What if I’m wrong about all of this? In this episode, Carl and Heather have an honest conversation about doubting your faith—and why doubt itself isn’t necessarily the problem. Thomas doubted after showing extraordinary courage and devotion to Jesus. John the Baptist found himself sitting in prison asking whether Jesus really was the Messiah. And in both cases, their questions were brought toward Jesus, not away from Him. So when is doubt healthy, and when does it become dangerous? We’ll explore how to recognize where your doubts are coming from, the difference between wrestling with God and becoming double-minded, and five practical things you can do when your faith feels uncertain. You don’t have to be afraid of your questions. Don’t waste your doubt. Let it drive you toward prayer, Scripture, truth, and ultimately back to Jesus. Please let us pray for you and with you.

Episode 98: Love or Respect?
Love or Respect? Does a woman need love more than respect? Does a man need respect more than love? And what does that actually look like in a real marriage? After our recent conversation with Shaunti Feldhahn, we wanted to circle back to one idea that really resonated with people: many women have a deep need to feel loved and cherished, while many men have a deep need to feel respected, capable, and believed in. This week, it’s just the two of us talking about how that has played out in our own marriage. We unpack the seemingly small things that can make a husband feel disrespected or a wife feel unloved—even when that was never the intention. We talk about criticism, correcting one another, disagreement, emotional distance, and what happens when both spouses start waiting for the other person to go first. Can you respect your husband when you disagree with him? Can you love your wife when she’s distant or frustrated? What if you don’t feel like your spouse deserves what they’re asking for? And how does following Jesus change the way we answer those questions? Ultimately, this isn't just about learning what men want or what women want. It’s about becoming a student of the person you married and learning to communicate love in a way they can actually receive. Because sometimes the thing you’re trying to communicate isn’t the thing your spouse is hearing. Send us Fan Mail Looking to connect with Carl and Heather?

Episode 97: For Women Only
For Women Only with Dr. Shaunti Feldhahn Do you ever wish you could get inside your husband’s head and understand what he’s really thinking? This week, we’re joined by bestselling author and social researcher Dr. Shaunti Feldhahn for a fascinating conversation about her book, For Women Only: What You Need to Know About the Inner Lives of Men. Shaunti’s research has helped millions of women better understand the men they love—including one finding that can be especially surprising: many men would rather feel respected than loved. But what does that actually mean in a marriage? We talk with Shaunti about the inner life of men—the pressures and insecurities husbands may not know how to put into words, why respect carries so much weight, and some of the things your husband may desperately want you to understand about him. Because sometimes loving your spouse well begins with understanding them better. If you’ve ever thought, “I love this man, but sometimes I just do not understand him,” this episode is for you. Our hope is that this conversation helps you see your husband with fresh eyes and gives you practical ways to build greater connection, affection, and trust in your marriage.

Episode 96: The Marriage You Thought You'd Have
What happens when the marriage you have isn’t the marriage you thought you were getting? Most of us entered marriage carrying expectations—about communication, sex, money, parenting, faith, family, and even who we thought our spouse would become. But eventually, there’s a moment when we realize: this isn’t exactly what I ordered. So what do you do with the disappointment? In this episode, Carl and Heather talk about the difference between things in marriage that genuinely need to change and things we may need to learn to accept—and even love. Through Scripture, humor, and a burger with way too many onions, they explore biblical contentment, gratitude, patience, unmet expectations, and the possibility that God may be doing something good in a marriage that looks different from the one you imagined. Maybe the goal isn’t to finally get the marriage you thought you’d have. Maybe it’s to discover what God wants to do with the marriage you actually have. Plus, Carl and Heather share more about their new book, Together on Purpose, coming November 1. Have a prayer request?

Replay Episode: Get Off The Crazy Train
Replay Episode: Creating Margin (Our Very First Episode) As we approach our 100th episode, we're revisiting the conversation that started it all. Many of you have discovered the podcast over the past couple of years, so we wanted to re-release Episode 1 because its message feels more timely now than ever. Life has a way of filling every open space. Between work, kids, sports, church, and endless opportunities, it's easy to find ourselves running at a pace that leaves little room for what matters most. In this conversation, we talk honestly about our own struggle with overcommitment, the cost of hurry, and why creating intentional margin is essential for a healthy marriage and a healthy soul. You'll hear practical ideas for slowing down, protecting your priorities, and making space to connect with God and each other. Because we've learned this is still true: Margin is the space where connection grows. Whether this is your first time hearing Episode 1 or you're listening again, we hope it encourages you to step off the crazy train and make room for the relationships that matter most.

Episode 93: "Together In Battle" Ephesians 5:22-6:24 (Week 5)
What if the greatest purpose of your marriage is to tell the story of the Gospel? In the final episode of our study through Ephesians, Carl and Heather explore one of the most discussed passages in Scripture and discover that Paul's ultimate focus isn't marriage itself—it's Christ and His Church. Together you'll unpack what sacrificial love, mutual honor, and covenant commitment look like in everyday marriage. You'll also discover why the armor of God immediately follows Paul's teaching on marriage and why remembering your spouse is not your enemy can transform the way you handle conflict. As we wrap up this five-week journey through Ephesians, we're reminded that the goal isn't simply to know God's Word—it's to become people who live it together.

In Episode 4 of our study through Ephesians, Carl and Heather explore Paul's invitation to put off the old self, walk in love, and live wisely through the power of the Holy Spirit. You'll discover why lasting transformation begins with identity, how small daily choices shape healthy marriages, and why the Christian life isn't powered by willpower but by God's Spirit working within us.

In Episode 3 of our study through Ephesians, Carl and Heather explore one of the most encouraging truths in Scripture: every follower of Jesus has received a calling. As Paul prays for believers to be rooted and grounded in God's love, he reminds us that the Christian life isn't about earning God's approval—it's about living from it. Together you'll discover why your career isn't your calling, how the Church reveals God's plan to the world, and what it looks like to faithfully live out your purpose in everyday life and marriage.

In this episode, Carl and Heather explore what it means to be saved by grace—not by performance—and why understanding that truth changes everything about how we love God and one another.

Can trust be rebuilt after it's been broken? Trust is one of the most valuable—and fragile—parts of any marriage. It can take years to build and only moments to damage.

Through personal stories, biblical wisdom, and practical encouragement, they discuss how trust grows through everyday faithfulness, honesty, humility, and accountability. Whether your marriage is thriving or you're working through a difficult season, this conversation offers hope that trust can be strengthened and restored.
