Making Marriage Easier: A Conversation with Arlene Pellicane
Marriage is hard work—but does it have to feel so hard? Many people believe that marriage is just about surviving, that the spark inevitably fades, or that tension and conflict are just part of the deal. But what if marriage isn’t meant to drain us, but to bless us?
This week on The Love Offering Podcast, I had the joy of talking with Arlene Pellicane, author of Making Marriage Easier. After twenty-five years of marriage, Arlene shares real-life stories, biblical wisdom, and practical strategies to help us break free from common struggles—poor communication, tension over differences, lack of intimacy, and parenting stress.
She walks us through four key decisions that can help us:
✔️ Clarify our values and expectations
✔️ Strengthen communication with our spouse
✔️ Reignite intimacy and connection
✔️ Build a marriage that truly lasts
Marriage is part of God’s beautiful design, and it’s meant to be a celebration—not a burden. Whether you’re newly married, in the trenches of parenting, or decades into your relationship, this conversation will encourage and equip you to love your spouse with greater joy and intentionality.
