   137: Can Small Moments Save a Disconnected Marriage?

   Episode 137: Small Moments That Strengthen Your Marriage with Jon and Teresa Harper Does your marriage get whatever time is left after everything else? Between work, family responsibilities, and the constant pull of our phones, meaningful connection can easily slip away. In this episode of the Love How Deep Podcast, Brian and Heather Mayer welcome Christian speakers and authors Jon and Teresa Harper for a conversation about making small moments matter. Drawing from their marriage and their devotional, Minute for Marriage: Turning Minutes into a Marriage That Lasts a Lifetime, the Harpers share practical ways to give your spouse your attention and keep Jesus at the center of your relationship. From dating through the alphabet to setting aside a few minutes of uninterrupted conversation, this episode offers encouragement for couples who want to move beyond simply sharing a home and start enjoying one another again. In this episode, we discuss: Making your marriage a priority during busy seasons. Bringing creativity and laughter back through alphabet dates. Using "couch time" to reconnect and talk about your day. Supporting your spouse's interests, even when they differ from yours. Praying together without feeling pressured to say everything perfectly. Putting phones away and being fully present. Showing love in ways your spouse actually receives it. Practicing the grace, humility, forgiveness, and service Jesus models. Try this together: Choose one small way to connect this week. Plan a simple date, spend 15 minutes talking without phones, or pray aloud together. Start with something you can repeat.

   136: Transform Your Marriage with the Principles of Ephesians 3

   What could it look like for your marriage to grow out of a deeper experience of Christ's love? In this solo episode, Brian explores Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3:16–20 and applies its themes to marriage. The passage begins with strength in our inner being, moves into being rooted and established in love, and points us toward God's power at work within us. For married couples, it offers an invitation to nurture your individual relationship with God and consider how that growth can shape your relationship with each other. WHAT YOU'LL TAKE AWAY Strength begins within. Brian reflects on Paul's prayer for strength through the Holy Spirit. When you feel depleted, prayer offers a way to seek the inner resources you need to approach your marriage with greater love and intention. Deep roots and flexibility belong together. Drawing on his experiences with hurricanes in Florida, Brian uses palm trees as a picture of remaining grounded while bending under pressure. Couples can reflect on what it means to stay rooted in Christ's love while remaining open to growth and change. God's love is something to experience. A trip to Niagara Falls gave Brian a vivid picture of love that is powerful, abundant, and continually flowing. He connects that experience with Paul's invitation to grasp the breadth and depth of Christ's love. Your marriage needs community. Paul's prayer includes God's people together. Brian encourages couples to seek trusted support when they remain stuck, whether through a friend, pastor, mentor, or professional therapist. This passage is at the heart of Love How Deep. Brian shares why Ephesians 3:16–20 helps shape the ministry he and Heather lead: helping couples experience Christ's love and bring that love into their marriage. SCRIPTURE TO EXPLORE Read Ephesians 3:16–20 together. Notice the movement from inner strength to faith, rootedness, shared understanding, and God's power at work within us. REFLECTION QUESTIONS • Where do I feel depleted, and what would I like to bring to God in prayer? • What helps me stay rooted in Christ's love when our marriage feels stressful? • Where could I respond to my spouse with more flexibility and care? • Who could we turn to for wise support if we keep getting stuck? TRY THIS TOGETHER After reading the passage, each spouse can share one phrase that stands out and why. Then pray for one another, asking God to help you receive His love and express it through one specific action this week. MARRIAGE RESOURCES AND NEXT STEPS Marriage Strategy Session: Clarity, Connection, and a Plan Forward If you want a clearer picture of your marriage and practical direction for growth, the Marriage Strategy Session offers a personalized experience with Brian and Heather.

   135: Our Summer was Different

   When Summer Looks Different: Finding God's Goodness in an Unexpected Season This week, we are sharing another "Behind the Lives" episode—a relaxed and honest look at what has been happening in our family, marriage, ministry, and business over the past few months. This summer did not look like our typical summer. There was no long vacation or major trip for just the two of us. Instead, the season was filled with work, tutoring, business coaching, hosting family for nearly half of a 40-day period, spending time with friends, creating new Love How Deep resources, preparing speaking presentations, and developing new ways to serve couples. The biggest and sweetest news of the summer was becoming grandparents. We traveled to Ohio over the Fourth of July weekend to meet and hold our new grandson, Noah Michael. That time with him—and the pictures, videos, and updates we continue receiving—became one of the greatest blessings of the entire season. We also enjoyed a mountain getaway with close friends at House Mountain Inn and took the train to Washington, D.C., where we spent hours exploring the Museum of the Bible. These shorter experiences reminded us that meaningful rest and connection do not always require an elaborate vacation. Behind the scenes at Love How Deep, we joined an intensive business coaching program, created new website pages and marriage resources, developed another seminar, prepared new speaking material, and launched the Marriage Strategy Session. Heather also began writing a 13-chapter Bible study filled with Scripture, self-reflection, journaling, personal research, and practical application for both individuals and marriages. As we looked back, we realized that it would be easy to focus on what did not happen and decide the summer was disappointing. But when we named everything God allowed us to experience, the season looked completely different. It was full of family, creativity, ministry, friendship, connection, growth, and gratitude. Different is not automatically bad. A season may not unfold according to your original plan and still be deeply good. A Challenge for You Look back over the past few months and make a list of the things you were blessed to be part of. Consider the people you connected with, the ways you grew, the work you completed, the unexpected joys you experienced, and the places where God met you. Your season may not have looked the way you hoped it would—but when you put it into perspective, you may discover that the good outweighs the perceived bad. In This Episode, We Talk About Hosting family as two introverts—and recognizing the need for recovery time Becoming grandparents and meeting Noah Michael Enjoying meaningful experiences without taking a traditional vacation Visiting House Mountain Inn and the Museum of the Bible Joining a business coaching program and growing Love How Deep Heather's progress on a new 13-chapter Bible study Creating new marriage resources, presentations, and website pages Launching the Marriage Strategy Session Building connections with churches and marriage-ministry organizations Savoring a mountaintop season while remembering that storms are part of life Looking beyond unmet expectations to recognize God's goodness Practicing gratitude by naming the blessings of the past few months Places Mentioned Museum of the Bible — Washington, D.C. https://www.museumofthebible.org/ (https://www.museumofthebible.org/) House Mountain Inn — Lexington, Virginia https://www.housemountaininn.com/ (https://www.housemountaininn.com/) Work With Brian and Heather Invite us to speak at your church We offer Christ-centered keynotes, interactive workshops, half-day intensives, and full marriage conferences designed to strengthen couples and support the needs of your church. https://www.lovehowdeep.com/speaking (https://www.lovehowdeep.com/speaking) Reserve a Marriage Strategy Session Complete a trusted marriage assessment, meet privately with both of us for a two-hour video session, and leave with personalized insights and practical next steps for your marriage. https://www.lovehowdeep.com/marriage-strategy-session (https://www.lovehowdeep.com/marriage-strategy-session) Visit Love How Deep Find Christian marriage resources, podcast episodes, videos, courses, and updates about Heather's upcoming Bible study: https://www.lovehowdeep.com/ (https://www.lovehowdeep.com/)
