Confessing your sin to your spouse will never be an easy thing to do but it is important to maintain a healthy marriage relationship with your spouse as well as growing in your walk with Christ. Although confession is so important it is something that does not happen very often in our marriages.

In this episode we discuss the reasons why confessing your sin to your spouse is so important and we also give some practical and biblical advice on how to go about confessing. We also talk a little bit about how to receive a confession from our spouse.

Please leave us your questions and comments.

One of the main roles, if not the most important role, of the Christian parent, is to teach and disciple their children in the Word of God. We have been given the greatest task of all time, to raise our children to know God and his Word. We are not only supposed to read it to them but also to teach it and live it out, especially the live it out part. The Bible gives us very real and specific instructions on this. The word of God is to be taught in every part of our lives. Not just on Sundays. Not just at church but in every facet of our every day lives.

But this task could be daunting. The idea of being responsible for their Biblical knowledge and understanding can invoke many fears and inadequacies in us. You may feel unprepared or incapable. You may think that you don't know enough about the Bible or are unqualified to teach it to your children. Well, we are here to encourage you that you can and must. That God has called you to be the main place that your children learn about Him. You can do this and we want to help you get started.

It is common in marriage for one spouse to be an extrovert and the other to be an introvert. There are times that both spouses have the same dominant personality traits. No matter what it can be a challenge in marriage to navigate how to get each other's needs fulfilled and communicate these needs in marriage, so we thought we would share a little from our experience of being an extrovert and introvert in marriage.

In this episode of Marriage After God we have a little fun at the beginning talking about our favorite family games we enjoy together but only as a segway into the real topic at hand. We discuss 3 very dangerous emotional and manipulative games that are all too common in marriage.

The silent treatment, Retaliation/revenge, and word games. These games manifest themselves in many different ways and Jennifer and I had learned to be very good at playing all of them with each other, that is up until God got a hold of our hearts. There is no place for them in a Christian marriage. They should be avoided at all cost otherwise it could cost us a healthy marriage or worse.

We haven't perfected the art of avoiding these deadly games but we are way better then we used to be at recognizing them quickly and repent often.

If there are any more games that couples should avoid in marriage please let us know in the comments. Also, please share with us your favorite family games.

(9:04) Game #1 - Silent Treatment

(11:35) James 1: 19-20

(14:37) Ephesians 4:32

(15:42) Game #2 - Retaliation

(20:10) Romans 12: 16-18

(24:30) Game #3 - Word Games

(25:40) Proverbs 18: 21
