                           When Marriage Gets Hard: What God Taught Me

                     Hey Believers, in the beginning, I thought that if I didn’t cheat or lie, marriage would be easy. I was wrong. After nearly seven years of marriage, I’ve learned that a godly union requires much more than just avoiding the big mistakes—it requires spiritual endurance.

In this episode, I’m getting raw and transparent about the spiritual warfare that recently hit my home. I’m sharing how the enemy attacked my mind with doubt and depression, and how I had to stop moving so fast to finally hear what...

        Hey Believers, In this episode of the allenandeve podcast, we’re getting real about a recent moment where things got tense between us. Even after moments of deep repentance and confession, pride has a way of creeping back in and reopening old wounds.

We dive into:

                         In this episode, we’re tackling the "scary" side of intimacy: bringing our darkest thoughts into the light. We often keep secrets—struggles with lust, wandering eyes, or internal battles—under the guise of "protecting" our spouse's feelings. But the truth is, lust thrives in the dark. It gains its power from the silence.

We break down why "being known" is more important than "being comfortable" and how sharing your internal struggles actually takes the power away from temptation. Drawing from Ephesians 5 and James 5, we discuss how to turn your spouse from a judge into a prayer partn...

          Hey Believers,  We’ve been married for seven years, and if we’re being honest, they’ve been seven of the best years of our lives. But lately, we realized we were still carrying some 'spiritual luggage' we never actually unpacked at the start."

"We’re talking about the patterns we set before we ever said ‘I do.’ Even after all this time, we felt a pull to go back and get it right—to break away from the spiritual hindrances of our past and build something completely new."

"So, we’re doing something radi...

              Hey Believers, why is the transition from "child" to "spouse" so difficult for some families? In this episode, we’re having a transparent and relatable conversation about the invisible strings that keep families attached long after the "I Do’s."

We break down the two primary reasons why parents—especially mothers—struggle to let go, and why so many adult children are still leaning on their parents for everything from laundry to bills.

In this video, we discuss:

The Dependency Trap: Why being "helped" with every move might be h...

                       Hey Believers, Marriage was never designed to include constant interference, divided loyalty, or forced relationships with extended family. In this video, we have an honest and respectful conversation about protecting your marriage without bashing in-laws.

Many couples silently struggle because they feel pressured to gain family approval instead of standing united as husband and wife. When boundaries are not set early, resentment, confusion, and emotional division can slowly damage the marriage covenant.

In this discussion, we cover:

           Hey Believers, in this video, I take full accountability for a decision I made that hurt my wife. I acted in a selfish moment, focusing on what I wanted rather than what was best for us. I didn’t pray before making the decision. I didn’t pause. I didn’t go through the proper steps or channels that honor marriage. And that lack of consideration caused pain.

Marriage requires intention, prayer, communication, and selflessness. When we move without God, without counsel, and without considering our spouse, we risk breaking trust and unity. This conversation is not about excuse...

          Child support in blended families is one of the most misunderstood and emotionally charged topics in marriage. In this video, we address a hard truth many couples avoid: what happens when the other parent does not pay child support, and the responsibility quietly shifts onto the marriage?

If you are married to someone who has children from a previous relationship, this conversation matters. When one parent fails to fulfill their legal and moral responsibilities, that burden often falls on the new household. At that point, it is no longer “his problem” or “her problem”—it becomes a team issue
