ListenLaughing is one of the best ways to break your marriage out of a funk. Could it be that laughter is a gift and a grace of God designed specifically to lift our hearts and clear the air in our relationships? In this week’s episode we answered three questions about laughter and talked through various examples in Scripture where laughter, playfulness, and childlike faith. We…
ListenExpectations are constantly at work in every marriage. The question is whether or not we’re aware of them and in agreement on what they should be.

ListenThough this episode is still about marriage, we never anticipated how timely its message of hope would be. In today’s episode we encourage listeners to remember that marriage is less about perfection and more about perspective and perseverance. You’re both learning, you’re both going to make mistakes, and you’re both works in progress. God hasn’t given up on either of you yet, so neither should…
ListenIf you could change one thing about your spouse, what would it be? Life would be so much easier if we could just change our spouse, right? The problem is, God never called husbands and wives to change each other… heart change is God’s domain alone. So, what can we do when we’re living in a relationship where we’re unequally yoked and change is needed,…

ListenA listener asked, “who we should let influence our thoughts, opinions, and actions” in life and marriage. Join us as we root out the where and why we believe voices and ideas that shouldn’t have input into our lives. Warning, things got a little more fiery… but we still had fun.
