How to Stop the Fighting (Part 1) :: [Ep. 27]

Whatever your fights look like , the way we stop the fighting is the same.

Quiet fights, all-out shouting matches, and everywhere in between...fighting happens within our homes.

We've tried everything from stonewalling our emotions to our spouse, stuffing everything down deep where we think no one can see to making sure our desires are well represented in every situation and conversation. But we're coming up empty handed. The fights continue and we grow further apart.

Join us on this episode of VowsToKeep Radio...Part 1 of a series on HOW to stop the fighting. There is Hope and it starts right here, right now.

How to Get Your Husband to Engage With You Again (Part 2) :: [Ep. 26]

How to Get Your Husband to Engage Again - What's happening in your marriage, like at the very heart of it? Sometimes we can get clues to how we are really doing by looking at our communication.

When it comes to David's and I's relationship, you can bet any Day of the week, I want him to engage with me. If he's not, there's something else going on. But sometimes, I might not realize that it might be ME that's halting our conversations. How can that be, when I feel like I'm chasing him down just to talk?

Surprisingly, there are probably things within your heart and therefore your marriage that you might not even realize are the very obstacle to getting to the good things you want in your marriage...

If we're willing to let God have our hearts for the next 25 minutes, ladies, there are going to be big changes in our marriages. God may point out some things that you are doing that push your husband away. Things that make it hard for him to interact with you and shy away from engagement.

How To Love Your Wife Like You Want (Part 2) :: [Ep. 24]

In Part 2 of this 2 part series is for you guys! It's a detailed study that we think you are going to get a lot from. Not because we are anything awesome, but because Jesus is. 

He's where we get our Hope from. Our Hope for marriage. And today, we're turning to the Gospels of Mark and Luke and Matthew - looking closely at HOW Jesus spoke to His disciples (those closest to Him) and how He spoke with the crowds (those who were a little more skeptical). 

Jesus calls us His bride, so why not take our cue guys at how Jesus spoke to His church? He spoke realistically, compassionately, truthfully, thoughtfully, frequently and many more ways that we can use in our own marriages.

Does this describe YOUR marriage at times?

• No unity
• No intimacy
• No friendship
• No fun
• No Spiritual Growth
• No Marital Growth
• No measurable outward growth towards others

Yeah, us too. So, what gives? How can we go from being in love and investing in each other to not even caring anymore? There actually is an answer to that and we're going to dig to the heart of the matter on it ... RIGHT NOW.

There is a progression that happens in our hearts that can cause us to want to find the nearest beach, dig a really deep hole and not come out of it for a long time. It goes like this:
                             Annoyance - Anger - Avoidance - Apathy

If you're ready to get back to loving your spouse like you used to, this broadcast is for YOU.

Cause & Effect :: [Ep. 22]

Are you getting what you want in your marriage? 

When we don't get the “Effects” that we're after in our relationships, we work to tweak our "Cause"...our behavior, our approach until we get the effect we want.

But so often, we find our methods aren't working. We end up feeling hurt and isolated. We feel gipped and angry towards our spouse. 

In this broadcast of VowsToKeep Radio, we'll study passages like Luke 6 where Jesus turns our love equation on its head and gives us a brand-new perspective...

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

God is giving us an amazing CAUSE AND EFFECT promise in this verse. He’s saying, you WILL have an amazing effect when you do things MY way.

So, are you doing things your way in your marriage or His way? Ready for a change? 

Me too.
