It's one thing to talk about imaging the Trinity in your relationship and in your family and it's another thing to live that out in daily life. In this episode we reflect on Scripture and discuss practical ways to live out the call to sacrificial love in the every day.

Did the saints ever have to discipline their children, and more importantly, did they write about it? Well, St. John Bosco did. He ran schools and homes for the street children of Italy and developed a preventive system of discipline, one based on love and guidance rather than fear and punishment.  The approach that St. John Bosco develop over 100 years ago is similar to many of the best practices put forward by child psychologists today, and I want to share it with you!

Do you know anyone who seemed really in love, I mean really, really in love, and then a few years later you find out that they separated? How does that happen? 

There are many reasons for this, but one common answer is this: they lose their connection. What started out as a strong emotional bond weakens over time until the couple can honestly say, I hardly know him, or I know nothing about her. 

If you want to know what you can do to keep your connection strong, healthy, romantic, and vibrant, this podcast, and my whole career, is all about strengthening relationships through authentic connection.
