With personal stories and humor, Dr. Greg and Mrs. Erin Smalley reflect on the importance of marital commitment and offer insights on how you and your spouse can strengthen your relational endurance and conflict resolution skills.
Author Deb DeArmond and family therapist Jenny Coffey offer practical, Biblically-based advice for navigating the challenges of in-law relationships, particularly that between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Our guests cover topics such as creating healthy boundaries with your in-laws, promoting mutual respect, and establishing realistic expectations.
Greg Smalley and John Trent explain how spouses and parents can avoid miscommunication and conflict by using “word pictures,” which are simple metaphors to help clarify thoughts and feelings. The discussion is based on a book by John and Greg’s father, Gary Smalley, titled The Language of Love: The Secret to Being Instantly Understood.
We all carry some kind of baggage from our past. Because of this, many are wondering, “Is marriage worth it?” Greg, Erin and John discuss how to be honest with your spouse about past mistakes in a healthy way.
Life is filled with options. But, to have a good marriage, you must learn to say “No,” to some opportunities. John and Erin discuss how saying “No” to lesser important things can benefit your marriage. Featuring Pastor Levi Lusko, Jennie Lusko and Mrs. Jean Daly.
