'I Fiercely Love My Wife': For King & Country's Luke Smallbone Opens Up About Marriage

Luke Smallbone, one half of the Grammy-winning Christian duo For King & Country, is no stranger to struggle. The difficulties he and his wife have endured have proven to be blessings in their lives.

"I fiercely love my wife," Smallbone told CBN News. "And a lot of that has to do with the fact that we've actually been through some things. We actually lived out or vows in our 20s. Not many people are saying, 'Hey, I've lived out my vows in my 20s.' They usually think that's gonna take place in their 60s and 80s."

"But for us," he continued, "living out those things has given our relationship the ability to look back and say, 'Hey, if we went through this, why can't we go through that?' And I think that's been nothing but a good thing for us."

The story of the Smallbones journey from Australia to the U.S. is at the center of the upcoming movie, "Unsung Hero," from Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company, the same studio behind films like "American Underdog," "I Still Believe," and "Jesus Revolution."

[jennyc]

I always deeply appreciate Luke’s stories and his wisdom. Thank you for a job well done, interviewing him in a tight time window.

Luke's wife is fierce... I just love her spirit ❤❤❤

[maggiehessel]

Luke is my favorite - what a class act. He's genuinely raw, loves Jesus and smart enough to use his talents as a platform to "shepherd" stories of hardship, faith, love and being seen.

I love Luke and Joel. They were nice enough to meet up with my son 10 years ago when my son was having issues with bullying at school. My son was not feeling good about himself having bad thoughts. They were in Houston and perfect timing and met with my son gave him tickets for the concert . They spoke with him and my son totally changed. The Lord helped my son by bringing them to speak to him and I am so grateful for that. 🫶🏻🙏

Please take caution of presenting homeschooling as an inferior education. Your self spoken lack of reading and writing skills due to being homeschooled is an exception, not the rule for being homeschooled. Our two adult homeschooled daughters are one, a PhD Chemist, and two, a gifted school teacher. We need to take care of contributing to any assumptions that a homeschooled education is an inferrer education.
