Episode Details

Prayer should never be your LAST resort...it should be your FIRST response.

In this episode of the Grace Marriage Podcast, Brad sits down with Bill Reiser to discuss two things that will quietly destroy your marriage: unforgiveness and prayerlessness.

Bill shares his story of deep childhood trauma, years of buried pain, and the moment God called him to forgive the man who hurt him. That decision didn’t just release the past...it unlocked a level of peace, freedom, and healing that transformed his life and marriage.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
* Why unforgiveness blocks peace and keeps you stuck
* The difference between forgiveness and rebuilding trust
* How past wounds show up in your marriage today
* Why couples in crisis are almost never praying together
* How prayer creates real intimacy, not just routine
* What healthy, life-giving prayer with your spouse actually looks like
* Why prayer must become a first response, not a last resort

You’ll also hear a simple but challenging truth:
If you want a stronger marriage, start by getting closer to God...together.
