In this powerful episode of The Marriage Altar, we're digging into a question every couple in crisis has asked: Is this spiritual warfare? You'll learn how to discern when your marriage is under spiritual attack, how the enemy strategizes and uses confusion, division and exhaustion to weaken your covenant, and what the Bible says about how to fight this battle.

Whether you're dealing with betrayal, emotional distance, addictions, or just can't seem to get on the same page, this episode will help you identify the invisible war behind the visible problems- and equip you to fight with truth, faith and authority.
