In this powerful episode of The Voyage Cast, Eddie dives deep into the topic of "All the Little Lies in Marriage." He begins by breaking down the romanticized expectations surrounding marriage, contrasting the picture-perfect "happily ever after" with the inevitable challenges that come with a lifelong commitment. Eddie sheds light on the subtle, insidious lies that infiltrate relationships—those seemingly harmless thoughts like "This isn’t a real problem" or "This doesn’t really matter"—and reveals how they can quietly erode the foundation of a union over time.

Through candid reflections and a captivating satirical segment inspired by The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, Eddie exposes common cultural myths about marriage, including the dangers of hyper-individualism, unforgiveness, and the illusion of endless options. He challenges listeners to reject these lies and instead build relationships rooted in truth, mutual effort, and resilience. With practical advice to stay vigilant, speak truth, and seek community, the episode serves as both a heartfelt reminder and a call to action for those committed to protecting their vows.

The show closes with an inspiring reminder that love is messy and imperfect, but ultimately, it’s worth the work. He encourages listeners to fight for connection, prioritize growth, and reject societal narratives that undermine the sanctity of marriage. The Voyage Cast once again delivers a thought-provoking, empowering message about navigating life and relationships with purpose and truth.
