THE EXPEDITION MARRIAGE PODCAST

WITH HOSTS CHRIS AND JAMIE BAILEY

AUDIO PODCAST

When it comes to parenting, most couples focus on discipline strategies, school choices, and managing behavior. But what if one of your most powerful parenting tools isn’t a strategy at all—but your marriage itself?

In this episode, we’ll show you how a Christ-centered, connected marriage naturally overflows into your parenting. The way you love, communicate with, and treat your spouse is constantly shaping what your children believe about love, respect, and relationships.

💬 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why your marriage is your greatest influence in your children’s lives
How unresolved conflict between you and your spouse affects your kids—even when you think they don’t notice
Why a healthy, grace-filled relationship teaches more than your words ever could
How to model faith, love, and security in your home without needing to be perfect
