As you begin to meld your family’s customs with your spouse’s, what will you carry forward, and how will you form your own traditions in marriage?

In my youth, many women mentored me through their God-given gifts and talents. And now I feel my calling is to pass on these strengths to brides-to-be everywhere. After all, in order to borrow, someone else must be willing to share!

The newlywed years are filled with transitions, but having a mentor couple with experience can help you navigate through them. Greg and John share some of their favorite marriage advice for young couples.

Having fun dinnertime conversations can be a great way to bond with your spouse during the early years of marriage. Such moments are only possible though, if you develop strong communication skills with each other. John and Greg explain the difference that good pre-marital counseling can make for preparing a newlywed couple.

Seeing your son or daughter get married can be one of the most joyous experiences of your life. But, it’s sure to affect your marriage as well. John and Greg share how you can be a blessing to a son-in-law or daughter-in-law.

On this lighthearted broadcast, authors Laura Schupp and Erin Smalley offer helpful suggestions to brides for establishing their new home in a discussion based on Laura’s book, Our Newlywed Kitchen: The Art of Cooking, Gathering and Creating Traditions. 

Author Laura Schupp and her husband, Thom, have been building community through hospitality for more than two decades. Laura hopes to pass along her skills and knowledge to her children.
