Episode/Show Notes: As my wife and I have gotten further along in our walk of following Jesus, we are becoming more and more aware of the importance of GRATITUDE. Truly being able to give thanks to God in the hard times as well as the good times. And this GRATITUDE, or at times LACK of real gratitude, really affects our horizontal relationships - especially our marriage!  We have found that w...

Episode/Show Notes:  In all of life, but particularly in marriage, we often run into DIFFICULTIES with our communication with others. Whether it is listening well or thinking through what you are going to say before you say it, ALL couples face this challenge. I know for my wife and I, at least a few times a month, there is miscommunication about something!

Episode/Show Notes:   God designed us to be dependent on Him and interdependent on others. Our Creator designed us this way so that we truly thrive as He intended.
