Heartfelt Marriage

You’ve probably noticed, the easiest person available to us for biting and insensible remarks is our mate. More than anyone else on earth, we know how to yank their chain or hurt their soul with a cutting or nasty remark. To be crude or insensitive, to be disrespectful to the person we love the most is a big mistake.

That’s the bad news. Now the good news: There is no one else on earth as easy for us to treat kindly, respectfully and courteously than the one we love the most – our mate!

In this podcast Dr. Ross conveys three easy ways to be courteous to your mate; he even makes a profound confession about his own lack of courtesy in his marriage.  

When you are polite and courteous to your mate you show a maturity and depth of love that enhances your relationship and strengthens the bonds between you.

The podcast is only 9 minutes long.

When God created marriage, he created it to be beautiful. He perfectly designed Adam & Eve and when he introduced them to each other, they noticed immediately they were very much the same, but with some desirable differences. Those male/female distinctions made “becoming one” relaxed, natural, and a most pleasurable act. This charming couple lived in a delightful garden that provided them with meaningful work, plenty of food, and a perfect climate. Life was good – but ruined by the personal intervention by the enemy of God, Satan.

Life outside the Garden was tough, but Adam and Eve stayed married for a VERY long time, so they must have learned to get along! Your life is tough too – but you want to stay together and be a happily married couple, right? You want a lifetime marriage, right?

In this podcast, Dr. Ross shares three great truths about marriage he learned from Adam and Eve. You’ll love this fast-moving and interesting presentation that lasts less than 10 minutes.

Nothing shuts down a person quicker than ill-health. The body aches, the head throbs, the stomach swirls, the throat burns, the knees buckle, and life gets smaller and smaller as the pain gets greater and greater.

When it comes to physical ill-health, we respond with the most efficient and most effective cure possible. But when it comes to the pain and injury that often arise within marriage relationships, what do we do?

We suffer in silence or scream and rant. We bury it deep or bring it up often. We sleep in the same bed, but back to back. We take separate vacations, ignore each other’s cry, avoid eye contact, deceive, deride, and even destroy the other’s ego.

It’s all pain, all sorrow, all sickness of soul and all too often ignored. Doesn’t have to be that way, you know. For sure, Dr. Ross does not believe it should be that way. He believes you want and you can have a healthy marriage.

This 10-minute podcast his the first of a series of messages designed to help you fight off relational diseases and create happy and healthy relationships.

Adam and Eve were married almost 1000 years. Sounds difficult, doesn’t it? It gets worse. While there is no real record, some theologians think they had 33 sons and 23 daughters. That’s 56 kids.

Most Americans have trouble reaching past the so-called “seven-year itch” without getting a divorce.

Marriage isn’t for wimps, that’s for sure. Dr. Ross knows and he shares stories from his own lifetime marriage (52-years and 4-months). He wants you to create an atmosphere that is conducive to a death-till-us-part kind of marriage. 

You will smile at Dr. Ross’s story that a Three Musketeer candy bar saved their marriage!

There are several high points in a church wedding. The “I do” promise, the “announcement” that they are husband and wife, and of course, the “kiss.”

Each part is designed to increase the bonding between the bride and groom. The promises they make create a covenant, an agreement, a mutually agreed to compact to love, respect and live with each other “until we are parted by death!”

In this Podcast, Dr. Ross describes the impacts such a covenant has on the couple and the guests in the audience.

His words will take you down memory lane and put you back at that moment when you and your mate said, “I do.” Take the trip!

The podcast is only 9 minutes long.

Before anything romantic happens between a gentleman and a lady, there must be a spark – an unexplainable connection – an unrehearsed fascination that lures them together.

In this Podcast, Dr. Ross discusses how this process works. In his inimitable way, he tells stories from his own life that will make you smile and nod your head “yes.” Why? Because you’ll put yourself into the stories and see how your love relationship went from being strangers to being lovers.

Dr. Ross admits this: “Much of what I share with you in these podcasts come NOT from my overwhelming success as being the best husband a woman ever had, but from my ignorance or selfishness or stubbornness to take the time and energy to understand my wife or myself or my children or for that matter, life itself.”

By listening to Dr. Ross, you can save yourself from making many of the mistakes he made over the five-plus decades he was married to the lady he always refers to as “that cute little Colorado girl named Amy Kay.”

Did you spend a lot of money celebrating Valentine’s Day? Was it worth it?

Some people think the whole Valentine’s Day thing is contrived and a big waste of time and money. Not Dr. Ross.

In this podcast, he recalls his first Valentine’s Day with the lady who would become the love of his life. He is convinced MEN need Valentine’s Day! In this podcast, he makes several fun suggestions how you can extend the romantic relationship strengthening aspects of Valentine’s Day.

He says, “Come on, lovers, there’s no need to wait another year before you do something special for that something special person you love so very much.”

The podcast is only nine minutes long.

This beautifully worded and emotionally powerful podcast is the conclusion to two previous podcasts under the fascinating theme, what makes matrimony holy.

Dr. Ross tells two stories about two uncles. One uncle honored his marriage vows despite a difficult situation; the other did not. You will be moved, perhaps to tears, as he tells their stories and then applies them to your marriage.

This is a MUST LISTEN to podcast – it lasts only 12 minutes – worth every second!

There are four wedding gifts that married couples receive when they invite God into their marriage.

In this podcast, Dr. Ross reveals two of those gifts – and you will want and need them both at some time in your marriage.

The podcast is only eight minutes long.

You will smile as you hear Dr. Ross recall the story of his wedding day, August 4, 1963. He has a bright memory of the traditional church wedding ceremony when he and his cute little Colorado girl named Amy Kay were “joined in holy matrimony!” Their teenage marriage lasted for 52-years and 4-months – against all the odds.

It is a set up to the important question he answers over the next few podcasts: what makes matrimony holy? You will like his answers!

The interesting and inspiring podcast is only 8 minutes long.
