Marriage & The Gospel, Part 2: Identifying The Problem

We continue where we left off last week when we recognized together that our marriages - and our lives generally - are not about us!  We are created to give glory to God through the way that we live our lives and that should show through in our marriages.  So, how do we recognize when that "me mentality" is creeping into our relationships?  Let's get into that!

Marriage & The Gospel, Part 1: The Hard Truth About You

We are kicking off Season 5 by diving into a new series all about how our mindsets as Christian individuals should be intimately weaved into our mindsets as Christian spouses......but we have found that is tragically rarely the case.  Lots of people say they understand the Gospel and believe in it fully, but their marriages suggest differently.  Where is the disconnect?  Spoiler.....it is tied to that human monster that live within each of us.  Let's get into that!

You CANNOT "Will" Happiness Into Your Life.....or Your Marriage! Stop Doing This "Popular" Thing That Prevents Growth In Your Relationship!

Last episode for Season 4 of the Marriage By Design Podcast!  So many people have bought into the modern lie that "if you believe it then it will be so."  All experiential evidence around us refutes this believe and tries to convince us that we can change our emotions by just desiring or willing them to change.  But that won't change your emotions and it certainly won't change your marriage.  It is time to commit to the real work - the hard work - in marriage.  Let's get into that!
