Erin Smalley serves as the strategic spokesperson for Focus on the Family’s marriage ministry, where she develops content for the marriage ministry. Erin is also a licensed professional counselor with a private practice (Smalley Marriage), as well as an author and conference speaker.
Dr. Greg Smalley and his wife, Erin, explain that the majority of marital conflicts result from ongoing problems, like personality differences, that will never be “solved.” In light of this, they encourage couples to cultivate understanding, grace, and humility, and to communicate with vulnerability by sharing from the heart.
Connecting with another person is a unique and special blessing. And when you come to know that person and rely on them, you place trust in them. So what do you do when that trust is shattered?

She’ll help you learn how to have healthy and godly perspectives about trust and relationships so you can get on a path toward healing.
Counselor Debra Fileta explores the levels of communication that shape our relationships. From body language and forgiveness to understanding your triggers, you’ll learn how to better love others by improving your skills at communicating.
When your spouse lets you down, how do you respond? We all make mistakes, and need a healing dose of God’s grace from time to time. John and the Smalleys talk about how to encourage your spouse, even when he or she disappoints you.
Betrayal in your marriage can shatter your heart. But, through the power of forgiveness, you and your spouse can walk the road toward healing. Erin and Greg share with John about a couple they know who experienced God’s healing grace after choosing forgiveness.
