What does God say about divorce and remarriage?

Many are quick to throw the Bible at people, many are hurting and desperate to know where they stand with God, and some just honestly don't know.

Am I living in sin, can I ever love again, does God hate me??? There can be so many questions if you have ever gone through the devastation of a divorce or are remarried.

In this episode, we share what God has shown us through life and in scripture. We are now over fourteen years married as a blended family, and have seen God's love and redemption pour out all over our family. We have truly seen beauty from the ashes.

We pray you walk away from this episode full of hope and encouragement, but most of all knowing how much God loves you.

It's not wrestling, it's a mystery date!!!

Detective Scarlett (without a badge) and non-detective Randall describe what mystery dates are and how you can use them to pour fun into your blended family.

This is a fun way to build your relationships, called a FunFamOp (well, Randall tries to get that one to stick with little success).

These mystery dates are great to do as a family, couples, friends, birthdays, holidays, and more. It gives you that new experience together with little effort and low cost. Your family will talk about this one for years after.

There is no perfect marriage, and no perfect family! (Whew, that should be a relief for us all, right?)

Then why do we chase after it so hard sometimes? We can try to make everyone else fit into the version of love or family we think it should be. The great news is we can be free from this, and it can bring us a lot more peace and happiness.

Dr. Alyson Nerenberg joins us in this episode to shed light on how we all have different levels of narcissism and perfection desires inside of us and how we can overcome this so it doesn't destroy our marriage or family.

These insights can bring healing to your marriage and restoration for your family. In her words "Perfect is boring, our messiness is what keeps us interesting. No interesting person has ever had an easy life."
