    The Fight for a Wholehearted Marriage with Rebekah and Gabe Lyons- Episode 992
    Jul 21 2025
    My friends Gabe and Rebekah Lyons are here to help us answer the question, “How do I identify seasons of my marriage?” This spring they released their first book they’ve written together called The Fight For Us. We’re going to talk about how to define summer in your marriage (their answer was surprising), how to prepare for marriage, how to approach conflict, emotional and physical intimacy, and what it means to have a wholehearted marriage. Parents, you will want to listen to this one on your own instead of with my miniBFFs as we get into some “adult” conversation. If you’re following along in your TSF Seasons Guidebook, we’re on page 79. The guidebook is available for you at anniefdowns.com/seasons. . . . . .

AFD is, hands down, without a doubt or reservation, the BEST podcast host. She is excellent at her craft. I judge all other podcasts by hers. It is so well thought out, performed, and produced. She is honest, down to earth, and relatable. Some of the content is informative and educational and some is fun and often hysterical! I’ve read more books because of the guests she has on. I have grown as a person and am a better person because of this podcast. No exaggeration!
