dear husband, dear wife - with danny + jennie fuentes

Following up last week's conversation, we continue to talk about Gender Roles in Ministry and how our view of women in ministry also influences our way in which we view women in marriage. 

Let's talk Gender Roles. A hot topic nowadays and how they play a role in your marriage or relationship! 

Why is having clear and non negotiable values important in relationships? In this podcast we talk about the importance of setting non negotiable values that help you have a healthy relationship with a loved one. 

In this episode we talk about the importance compromising plays in marriages. What does it mean to learn to lay down your life for your each other? Listen to our episode as we talk about how we have learned to compromise in our years of marriage and how compromise has taught us about God's grace and unconditional love. 

Conflict is bound to happen during your relationship and especially during your first year of marriage. So how do you resolve small conflicts to big ones? In this podcast we share three keys that have helped us how to move past small "conflicts" to big ones. 

In this episode, we talk about five important keys of communication. Especially during your first year of marriage, you want to make sure that you are putting these five steps into practice. We believe that there are so many other important keys to communication, but the five we address in this episode are: 

1. Communicate Honestly. Why is honesty important and how honesty helps to build trust. 

2. Communicate Clearly. Being specific and clear is very important. 

3. Communicate When You Are Emotionally Ready. Our emotions are very important and when we do are not emotionally ready. It is best to wait. 

4. Healthy Communication Requires You to Listen. Effective communication requires you to listen to your partner. Lastly, 

5. Choose Your Words Wisely When Communicating. Words are powerful and scripture teaches us that the tongue is powerful and can be used to other build each other or destroy one another. 

Let us know what you think about this episode and is there anything else you would consider adding to the importance of communication? 

In this episode, we briefly talk about our broken engagement and the steps we took after the engagement to address the things that where affecting us. 

In this episode we give a short version of our dating years and how Danny's previous experience with porn and Jennie's insecurities and childhood trauma affected our relationship. 

A brief introduction where we share who we are, what this episode is about, and why we even started on in the first place. All episodes are unscripted.

Let's talk about how our childhood experiences shaped and formed our perspective about relationships. In this episode we give you a glimpse of WHO we were before dating and what we thought dating and marriage was suppose to look like.
