UnPerfect - Strengthen Faith and Connect With God
A Thriving Marriage: Appreciating Differences, Navigating Conflict, Keeping Romance Alive
Click here to text me directly! I can't wait to hear from you.
In Episode #67 of UnPerfect, we continue the honest discussion on marriage between two couples who have known each other for over 25 years. We have seen God show up in some very difficult seasons as we have fought for a thriving marriage.
If you missed the first half of our conversation, you can listen to it here. We shared our stories and talked about what made us stick it out, and three keys to navigating marriage challenges well: selflessness, commitment, and growth.
This week we take a deeper look at what makes a thriving marriage:
- How varying approaches to conflict resolution can impact your relationship
- The significance of addressing issues before they escalate
- Why taking time to process emotions can lead to healthier discussions
- The power of prayer in promoting growth in both you and your spouse
- How creativity and intentional dates help to maintain intimacy and fun in your marriage
- Why Biblical Community - surrounding yourself with other Christ-centered couples - is a necessity for enhancing your marriage and providing encouragement during tough times
Ephesians 4:2
