Marriage Help Now: The Truth About Why We Put God First

We don’t just coach couples, we are the couple who had to do the work first. In this episode of The Lit Lounge: Real Talk for Christian Marriages, we walk through parts of our Marriage Reset Checklist—live, in real time. Not for show. For realignment. We're Debra and Jabari Steward. We help Christian couples transform their marriage from just 'fine' to truly phenomenal. We've built the frameworks and tools we wish we had when we were showing up more for our calendars than we were for our own marriage. The disconnect didn’t look dramatic—but it was deep. We were functional, responsible, even successful… but not truly connected. Inside this episode, we model: – A guided spiritual check-in that invites safety, not surface talk – Spoken appreciation—because appreciation, when spoken, strengthens connection – What it looks like to pause productivity and choose presence This isn’t a crisis conversation. It’s a calibrated reset—and an invitation to do the same. If your marriage looks “fine” on paper but feels off at the heart, this episode will show you what real, strategic, faith-shaped reconnection looks like. Because your marriage isn’t meant to settle. It’s meant to be whole, rooted, and phenomenal.
