In marriage, it’s very common for you and your spouse to have opposite communication styles. As our differences become more evident, it’s easy for us to misunderstand each other. John and the Smalleys provide some helpful ideas for communicating verbally and nonverbally with your spouse.
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.
Based on their book See-Through Marriage, Ryan and Selena Frederick discuss the value of a husband and wife pursuing complete transparency, and how this, along with the pursuit of other biblical traits, can model God’s love and grace to others.
Dr. Emerson Eggerichs, author of the best-selling book Love and Respect, explains how the marriage relationship is weakened by The Crazy Cycle, a pattern of conflict borne out of misunderstanding and disrespect. He offers help on breaking that cycle and re-strengthening the marital bond. (Part 1 of 2)
