About this episode
“One lifetime is nowhere near enough time to get to know another human being,” says Robert Paul, the Vice President of the Focus on the Family Marriage Institute. When it comes to marriage, what keeps the passion and romance burning hotter than ever is a lifelong inquisitive and curious pursuit of your spouse. Ignore what secular culture and even misguided churches may be telling you about the “fairytale” of marriage. Your spouse is your life journey partner, in good times and in bad. Support and encourage each other. Avoid giving unsolicited or unkind advice. Don’t be bossy, but be a cheerleader. Keep Jesus at the center of your marriage, and if you need help, don’t hesitate to reach for it. Getting help is not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of courage, says Robert. TAKEAWAYS Nothing is more foundational to a marriage than having the relationship centered on Christ Choosing a spouse is not about stepping into a fairytale - it’s about journeying through the trials of life together Happiness can’t be the measurement of whether your marriage is going well, because it can change daily, depending on your emotions Connect with the Lord in every difficult situation together as a couple and ask for His guidance and direction 🛠 TOOLS AND RESOURCES FROM EPISODEPop Culture Purge Tour: text TOUR to 55444Empowered to Love book: https://amzn.to/4ra5Hfm 🔗 CONNECT WITH HOPE RESTOREDWebsite: https://hoperestored.focusonthefamily.com/ 📢 THIS EPISODE SPONSORED BYMedi-Share: https://www.medishare.com/tina-griffinArtza (get 20% off with code TINA): https://bit.ly/3H0uUGGCovenant Eyes: https://bit.ly/TheHealingChurchFREEBookWAVwatch (get 15% off with code TINA): https://wavwatch.com/tina 🔗 CONNECT WITH COUNTER CULTURE MOMhttps://linktr.ee/CounterCultureMom 📺 WATCH OUR PREVIOUS SHOWShttps://theccmshow.lightcast.com/ 📲 GET OUR APP & FREE PARENT MEDIA GUIDEhttp://bit.ly/landingpageCCM 💵 SUPPORT THE MISSION
