On this episode we got to meet Luke and Carmen who have been dating for over a year and considering taking next steps. We talked about how their relationship has developed and some different learning lessons along the way. An important way to develop a serious relationship is to form that out of friendship first and this is what happened for Luke and Carmen. We spent time discussing how this happened for them. We rounded out the show by talking about their relationship with God and how that helps to draw them together more closely.

Want to know what we'll be talking about in our second season of Twogether? Look forward to Samuel and Kelly, along with guests, taking an in-depth focus on topics such as:

• Single but wanting to be married.

• Dating

• Keys to success in marriage

• and so much more

Another key focus in this season will be faith. Our relationship with God is vital to our overall health, and also essential to our marriages and relationships. It is important that couple’s not only push forward in their relationship with God individually, but also together as a couple. Jesus can truly help us in our relationships to grow closer with one another and we are going to explore how you can make that happen.

Have you ever heard the old adage: "things may not be as they appear"? We deal with this in the context of marriage as Kelly and Samuel talk about how to address issues such as individuality in marriage, proper use of evaluation, and placing God's authority on the matter.

In the context of marriage, individuals can often be thinking, feeling, and behaving in ways that their spouse may have trouble understanding. In this podcast we will be exploring four chief emotions: Anger, Lust, Anxiety, and Depression. These emotions have critical impacts on an individual's behavior and it becomes important to know how to notice and understand these emotions.

***As you are listening, you may notice that these topics are complex may go beyond what a mentor can help with. If you think or feel that you may be working through one or more of these emotions, we encourage you to seek out professional counseling and psychiatric support.
