Marriage is not two people living in perfect harmony. Marriage is two imperfect people sharing the same house and the same thermostat! In this upbeat presentation, Pastor Doug Fields encourages us to resist the cultural concept of cutting difficult people out of our lives, especially when it comes to our marriage.
Both husbands and wives will learn easy habits that can transform a marriage into a thriving, enjoyable relationship! Guests include Dr. Greg Smalley, Shaunti Feldhahn, Kathi Lipp, Dan Seaborn, Dr. Ken Wilgus, Doug Fields, Patricia Ashley, and Jay Payleitner!
