We love to look back at those key moments that have radically changed the trajectory of our marriage- those times the lightbulb comes on and you’re able to see things more clearly.  Over our 27 years, there have been many lightbulb moments, most of which we wished we had had earlier!  In this episode we share some of those times in our marriage that we thought Aha!!

Have you ever experienced that A-ha!! moment? So often, we hit the same wall, again and again, until God gets a hold of us and A-ha! The light goes on.  We see what we were too blind to see before.  Ignorance to understanding.  In this episode we share about why we all need a good lightbulb moment!

Our marriage is affected by the many decisions that arise in parenting.  One of those big decisions that we need to find unity on is how are kids are educated.  Even though we had very different educational experiences, we were in agreement early in our desire to home educate our kids.   Looking back on almost two decades of homeschooling, we’re sharing how that decision has benefitted our family and our children.

Are your expectations of your spouse realistic?  We may all answer, of course they are! I mean, I don’s ask for much, right?  We usually consider ourselves to “not ask for much” while also thinking that our spouse is asking too much of us. In this episode we talk about the danger in thinking “But I don’t ask for much!” And how to navigate those expectations with grace.

Do you ever feel like your ideas are dismissed by your spouse, often from the get-go?  We’ve been there way too many times!  This week we’re re-visting our very favorite phrase that we use to strengthen our marriage.  We’re sharing how adding “That’s a great idea” to our vocabulary has helped our marriage in so many ways!

Do you and your spouse ever disagree?  That’s a silly question. No one agrees with one person 100% of the time.  But disagreements can become a source of tension and conflict in our marriage when they’re fueled by stubbornness and disrespect. In this episode we talk about to keep disagreements from weakening your marriage.

Before our son, Stephen, got married to Anna, we shared a special evening together with them and the parents of the bride. It was a night of prayer and blessing for Stephen & Anna. In this episode, we share how that conversation went as the four of us prepared our kids to build a marriage, and not just a wedding.

Do you love weddings?  We have always loved weddings, but a wedding as the parents of the groom was a whole different experience! In this episode, we reflect on our son’s wedding day and how attending weddings encourage our marriage (and make me cry….)

Do you feel “free” in your marriage?  That might depend on on your definition of freedom! There are many cliches about marriage being the end of freedom, but the right kind of freedom makes a marriage healthy.  In this week’s episode we talk about the importance of both freedom and boundaries in building a strong marriage.

 Interview w/Brian and Carole Pucel 

We are so excited for you to meet our friends Brian and Carole Pucel.  When they married in 1982, everything seemed to be bliss until Brian began to follow Jesus. Brian’s new-found faith almost destroyed their marriage, until Carole slowly became curious about what had caused this change in her husband. For several years, they had a picture-perfect marriage, raising their three children, involved in church. Then a church split triggered a spiritual battle within Brian that threatened to divide them. You’ll love hearing how God redeemed their marriage even when things seemed hopeless!
