Episode 98 - Living Out Loud
#98
03/13/2024

Hello! In this week's episode, we talk about Living Out Loud. It might sound like an odd statement to some, but it boils down to how do you walk out this life? When you are out and about with your spouse, do people see that you two are married? Do they see that you are a Christian? What do people see, hear, and think when we don't let our words do the talking? If after interacting with us, a person found out that we are Christian and married, would they want to learn more? Would they be encouraged? Do...


Episode 97 - Speaking Over Your Spouse
#97
03/05/2024

We always encourage couples to pray for each other, and to always think and speak the best about each other. In this episode, we talk about the importance that your spouse hears those words. Throughout the day, you can think amazing things about your spouse, even treat them great, but if you don't say those great things out loud to your spouse, how does that affect them? Just like a garden, or our children, what your spouse hears you say can build them up or tear them down.

Deuteronomy 32: 30 "How can one chase a thousand and two...


Episode 96 - Other Options

02/20/2024

As a follow up from our last episode, we wanted to highlight that there are other options available to all of us. Many times we fall into patterns because that is what we were taught, or experienced. It doesn't have to be like that any more. We can be changed by the power and encounter of God. That encounter can change our patterns and our past. Remember, just because that is how it's always been, doesn't mean that it has to go that way still.

Psalms 16: 9-11 "I’m happy from the inside out, and from the ou...


Episode 95 - Extreme Dating!
#95
02/07/2024

Welcome to Extreme Dating! We often talk about dating and courting, and the need for boundaries and expectations. In this episode, we are mainly talking about dating/courting after your first marriage. We know that sometimes, marriages end, and we are not fans. When that does happen, it is not crazy to think about getting into a new relationship, when the time is right. People need to be careful when wading back out into that pool though, not everything shiny is good for you, or your family. This is why you should be extreme in your boundaries and expectations...

Episode 93 - Hope vs Hurt
#93
01/17/2024

We talk at the beginning of this episode about Accountability, and finding someone that you can be accountable to. For a deeper chat, please check out Episode 58.

A longer title could be 'Looking for Hope vs Not Wanting to Get Hurt, and Where is that Balance'. We know that would be a bit too long, so we shortened it. So where is that balance? We have been in previous relationships, and we know others have as well. We know that there is a journey and struggle to want to look for hope after you have been hurt...

Episode 91 - New Year, New You?
#91
01/02/2024

Yes, it is the start of a new year. Yes, we know that "New Year, New You" is overplayed.

We wanted to take a spin on it, look at it from a different angle. You are still you, you haven't changed, but your outlook and attitude has. We start this new outlook by being grateful for what is in our lives, homes, families. We thank God for what is in us and around us. Next, we remember that His mercies are new every morning, and day, and year, and moment, and season. He has renewed us. He...
