Why Marriages Struggle – From Falling in Love to Creating Love – Dr. Andre & Prophetess Faye
Loading player...
In this episode of Couples of Destiny on Radio Cape Pulpit, host Terry Honey welcomes Dr. Andre Lowe and his wife, Prophetess Faye, for a candid and prophetic conversation about why marriages struggle to sustain love over time. Dr. Andre explains that many couples never move beyond the "biological driven phase of passion" (the first 6–18 months) into the mature work of "creating love" rather than falling into it. He identifies three primary reasons marriages fail: accumulated dating stress, unresolved resentment, and the misconception that love should be without effort.
He also addresses how men often mistake comfort for boredom – losing the "hunt" that initially fueled romance – and encourages husbands to wake up every morning and see their wives for the first time. The conversation then turns to silent struggles in ministry marriages: ministerial depression (the high of ministry followed by a crash), the need for healthy boundaries, and the importance of separating before ministry events to protect the marriage.
Prophetess Faye adds that forgiveness is a choice, unity commands a blessing, and couples must learn to discern spiritual warfare – stopping in the middle of an argument to pray and identify the root. Dr. Andre concludes with a prophetic word for those who feel broken, have run away from their destiny, or feel like the heavens are brass – declaring that God is opening the heavens again and sending clarity, wisdom, and restoration.
