One Degree Marriage
Podcast
Practical, honest conversations about building a Christ-centered marriage that actually thrives, for couples who want to keep growing.
About the show
We started the One Degree Marriage Podcast because we couldn't find the show we actually wanted to listen to. Not overly polished, not preachy, just two people who love Jesus, love marriage, and are committed to doing the work.
Each episode tackles a real topic: communication, intimacy, faith, parenting, conflict, sex, money. We bring in guests, dig into Scripture, and always come back to the same question: what's the one-degree shift that actually moves the needle?
