If you’ve ever been told that the solution to your marriage struggles is “just go on more dates,” this one’s for you.


In this raw and real episode, Chelsey dismantles the cultural myth that date nights can fix what’s broken in your marriage. She shares her own story of trying to “paint over ashes” when the real issue was a missing foundation—and how only God’s design and grace can rebuild what’s been burned down.


Inside this episode:


  • Why the “date night fix” keeps couples stuck in cycles
  • How pressure, performance, and unhealed wounds show up in physical intimacy
  • Why women weren’t designed to carry the emotional and spiritual weight of leading
  • The biblical design for marriage and how it restores peace, passion, and purpose
  • What surrender actually looks like when you’re exhausted from doing it all



This is not about another surface-level solution—it’s about deep, holy restoration.
