UnPerfect - Experience God and Fully Live the Life I'm In
Hey, Sister. Are you frustrated that life hasn’t turned out the way you planned? Do you wonder if abundant life is possible on this side of eternity? I’ve been where you are, and girl, do I have some hope to share with you! Welcome to UnPerfect. I’m Shelly Snead, and each Tuesday I bring you stories from my real life - the hilarious AND the hard - and hope-giving truth from the Bible. I am honest about my jacked-upness while still confident in my Jesus. We'll chat about practical ways to experience God and fully live the life we're in - amid difficult circumstances and brokenness. On Fridays, listen in as I chat with faith-filled guests on "Fridays With Friends." Join us on a journey of authentic faith in the midst of "hard" with plenty of laughter on the side. Together, let’s find glimpses of God’s glory in the now and the not-yet.

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
