Whole Hearted Leadership with Lantz Howard 134 | Devoted: A Miracle Marriage | Authors Rich and Patty Green
Join Lantz Howard and guests Rich and Patty Green, authors of "Devoted for a Marriage Miracle," as they explore the underlying causes of intimacy drift and offer practical advice for rekindling.
Discover how open communication, understanding God's design for marriage, and creating an affectionate environment can transform relationships.
Rich and Patty reflect on their early years of ministry busyness, how burnout and disconnection crept into their relationship, and the transformation that began when they chose to slow down, seek healing, and rediscover intimacy through God's design.
Insights from our conversation together
1) I learned that a marriage rooted in ministry can still drift if emotional connection isn’t intentionally nurtured.
2) I learned that daily prayer together—even if it starts awkwardly—can rekindle both spiritual and physical intimacy.
3) I learned that healing begins when one spouse takes ownership and invites God to do deep, personal work.
4) I learned that laughter, playfulness, and even “sex for breakfast” can become signs of a thriving, grace-filled marriage.
5) I learned that the most powerful mentoring often comes not from perfection, but from the story of restoration you’ve lived through.
