As we enter May, we touch on a topic that for many years has been pushed to the side, but we recognize it needs to be talked about. This month we will be interview experts in the field as they give us valuable insight on the topic. This week we share a podcast that we did last year to set up the month.

Have you every been invested in? Have you ever invested in others? Scripture is clear that this is important for our own spiritual and emotional growth. We as a CFL team make a statement, "The best investment we make in our own marriage is by investing in others." Listen in today as we chat about discipleship, mentorship, coaching, etc. and the importance of it as one that receives it but also as one that shares it.

God not only has purpose for your marriage as well as providing us our personal perfect provision, but God wants us to truly enjoy your marriage! Be reminded of the good times, enjoy the rewards and milestones that come with staying married. Get through the difficult times to see your marriage strengthened on the other side!! Join us as we are reminded of the good old days and start creating new ones!

Identity is such a big deal and making sure we truly understand who we are in Christ and who He has called us to be is a game changer in relationships! You bringing your best self to the marriage will go a long way in fulfilling your purpose as a married couple. Join the CFL team as we discuss identity!

Being accepted by others is a big deal for everyone. Nobody wants to go through life feeling rejected! Today we have a conversation on how acceptance can be healthy in your marriage and how this action by both individuals will provide oneness in your marriage. Listen in as we encourage you to work on this area of your marriage and bring health to your relationship.

The reality of marriage is that there will be times that we hurt our spouse, or they hurt us. In those moments, are we able to forgive? Are we willing to forgive? What drives that decision in you life? Our team will point us towards scripture to find the answer!

Difficult conversations are going to happen within our marriages. Whether it's over finances, children, work, being hurt and offended, etc. we know that they will come up. How should we approach them? Do we not have them or do we blow up and get it all out? Listen in as our team walks through this necessary topic.

What are we looking to to define if our marriage is normal? Today our team talks about what we should be looking to in order to help us define where we are at and what areas we need to grow in as individuals and as a couple to continue to strengthen our marriages.

On todays podcast we take the time to chat with Richard and Elizabeth Albertson, founders of Live The Life (livethelife.org). One of the tools they share today is titled, "Take Out The Trash". Listen in as we discuss this tool and a few others that will help you and your spouse in your everyday interactions!

Shame is a tool that Satan uses to keep us from moving forward and living a victorious life. Jesus brings conviction, forgiveness, and redemption to give us a life that is thriving in Him. This allows us to draw closer to the Lord and also to earthly relationships, starting with our spouse. Listen in today as we chat about the difference between shame and conviction and how we can thrive in our marriage when we are living free in the Lord.
